Show Some Love

step 1) Stand in Your Power

Stand in the power position, with your feet wider than shoulder-width apart and slightly turned out. Hold your arms out to the sides, palms facing forward.

step 2) Squeeze it in

Contract your pelvis and abdominals, pushing through your hips and bending your knees slightly, bringing your pelvis toward your ribs. At the same time, pull your arms together in front of your body with your palms facing up, and drop your head forward. Really squeeze your abs, glutes, and chest at the end of the move. Hold for one second.

Open yourself up. Open back up past the starting position, pushing your butt back, opening your arms wide, and arching your back slightly. Repeat the entire motion for the full set.

You’ll feel it

In your abs, back, chest, hips and glutes.

The Body-Love benefit

It warms up your entire core, loosens up your spine and relieves tightness in your hops and pelvis. You’ll feel an awakening in your creative center and the rising power in your glutes and thighs.

Kacy’s coaching tips

This is a warm-up movement so take the first few reps to stretch out and loosen up your muscles. Then really get into it, thrusting that pelvis like a traditional African dancer (this is where showgirls get their swing). Put a little “pop” in it. Have some fun, and feel your body move.
