Let's add a chest rainbow to our Choo Choo Shimmy. First let's review it very briefly. To get more details on it, check out one of our other clips on the rainbow for the chest. Okay. So let's have the feet slightly apart, pull that belly button in. We're going to slide our chest out to one side. We're going to lift it across in a nice arc and bring it to the other side. And then back the other way. So make sure when you release it you don't let the shoulders come forward, make sure your belly button stays pressed in toward your spine. Okay. Now let's get our choo choo going. Get those heels up, shift your weight right and left. Pull those hips up toward your rib cage, use your side muscles as well. Watch your belly button, keep that chest lifted. Now let's add the chest. Side over and over. Keep the hips going nice and even. Good. Now let's speed it up. It's nice to contrast the chest movement, making it a little bit slower, than what your hips are doing. There we go. Good. Keep the ankles toward each other and the knees pointing forward. Don't let the body twist. Practice this mirror to make sure you keep a nice posture.
