About this class
There is just one word to describe this class: FUN! Seriously, it’s a total body workout (and yes, it’s going to get a lil sweaty up in here) but you are sure to smile. We start with wide squats, adding some quick arm movements to tone… and then come the booty drops! From here we move to the Earth where we build the core! Think: crunches, leg lifts and lowers, side c-curve and MORE! So are you ready to drop it like it’s hot?
Alignment notes
For Standing Side Leg Lift, ensure the standing leg has a micro bend in the knee. Keep your heart open. Booty Drops! How low can you go? You have extra support from your fingertips, so really try to drop that booty while keeping the core and leg muscles engaged. For C-Curve, place a rolled up blanket behind the lower back for extra support. During this class our feet are flat and our legs are squeezed together, this helps to engage the lower core. Lean as far back to feel the quiver in your abs but not so far back that your core switches off. If you feel any pain in the front of your hips, extend the legs long. For Froggy Legs, focus on squeezing the inner thighs together when you extend the legs.
