Okay, this is your lesson two at beginner level. So we will do two exercises in this video. So I want you to lay down on your map slowly. Okay, so we will be doing these two exercises on our prone position. So let's lay down. Okay.
Great. So let's start with. Let's start by trying to find our neutral position and gain. Okay. So I'm laying down on my back, my shoulders are wide open, my pelvis is parallel to the floor. Okay?
And I can place my hands to see if my pelvis is parallel, so you can always check by yourself. Okay, great. Now I bring my hands beside my buddy. Very good. Now, let's check Lex. Bear doing here.
So let's stretch both legs. Okay, off the mat. Very good. So here's see the difference when I stretch my legs like this, you might have, you might feel a little move in your pelvis. So let's check again, if my pelvis is parallel here and what my core is doing. So my chest is not hiking, it's still down, my abs are quite flat and squeezed.
Okay, so this is your optimum position. Great. So once we have this position, and if when you're comfortable, let's set up our body for the beginning of this exercise. Great. So I want you to bring your right leg towards your chest. So just bend it and here you have a nice 90 degrees.
Okay, so once you have this position fixed, let's focus on our foot so your foot here is flex. Okay? If you're uncomfortable just pointed but the optimum position is when your feet is flexed. Alright, so this is the position for your right leg that people work on and the other leg. Let's have a look on what she's doing here. So this leg is also straight and your foot is also flexed.
Good. Now place your hands behind your knee here. Great and make sure that your shoulders are not up like this. They're still down. Now we don't inhale, we will stretch our leg to the ceiling. So this exercise is very good to stretch your hamstrings, your muscles behind your leg, and also for your hip flexors.
Okay, the more you have strength and flexibility here, the more you will feel better. So let's check the exercise together. So we didn't inhale, lift your leg up to the ceiling. Keep your abs engaged and exhale, bring the light down. So if your hamstrings are tight, you can just lift your leg up to here. That's totally fine.
If this is your maximum, just stay here and don't force yourself to make your legs straight up like this. Okay? Just listen to your body. So with an inhale again, we try to lift leg up, inhale, and exhale bent any inhale up, and exhale down. Very good. One more time, inhale up, stay here, this time, point your foot and bring your hands down.
So this can be more challenging because you don't have support of your hands on your leg anymore. So stay in this position and we will make small circles. So with an inhale, I want you to focus on your right leg. And circle to like outward how circle with Inhale and exhale, close the circle. Very good. So if this is too challenging for just bend your knee, that's totally fine.

One more time, inhale. And exhale. Very good. Bend your knee and put on your mat. Very good. So here are the most important thing is when you are circling your leg, try to keep your pelvis table.
So when you do the circle your body is not. You see my core. This you should avoid your core should this table. So if you make a small circle, that's totally fine. Just make a small but equal circle. Okay?
Unless you keep your course table, there is no problem doing a small or big circles totally fine. Alright, so by keeping this in mind, let's do the same exercise on the other leg. So I bring my other leg 90 degrees. Okay. My foot is flexed. If it's not comfortable, just point, very good.
