In this video we will review the prep lattice exercises. And they are important because usually when we start to do the plus mat workout we start with prep lattice exercises to warm up the body. And I also like to add those exercises at the end of my workouts as a release work and stretching. So now let's review together all these prep lockers exercises. Okay, so let's come on over back here. We will start on our composition for his point position first.

So bend your knees, okay, your legs are banded and your Feet are far from your hips. Okay, you have a nice 45 degrees here. Good. Your arms besides your body so we will only work with legs in this exercise.

Okay, so we didn't inhale, bring your right leg up. Great, just 95 degrees until here, okay? So when you do the move, squeeze your abs and exhale, bring the leg down. So this is the move. Okay, we will be switching the legs and doing this exercise for press. That's okay.

So let's do the other leg. Now. Inhale, bring the leg up. So here the move is from your hip. Okay, not from this is not moving. Just the hip here to complete the leg is moving completely and bring this leg down.
