It is finally Friday and it's time for main street, New Jersey. And this morning, Lauren de is in Fort Lee highlighting local businesses. Second stop Lauren. Where are you now? We know you were shopping a little earlier. How about now? Ok. What do we got a little workout? Ok. So this is, yeah, this is probably a first, right? We're usually eating on main Street, but I'm on a Reformer Denise over here. You're the instructor. Ok. So let's jump on a little bit about the, this is a little intimidating. We're gonna begin by, you're gonna extend your legs, press the carriage all the way out. You're using your to pull the carriage back in. Good. So we're working on keeping the length of yours fine and pull the carriage in. So I always say the word pull because you're using the back of your legs. Your hand need to pull the carriage in. We're gonna go one more and then resist it in. We're gonna change positions, bring your feet together, knees together, think that they're crazy glued together. We're gonna go three times length and pull the carriage in. We typically do about 10 of each of these positions and I'm just gonna give you two more here. I've never done Pilates before. You're doing great. You're doing great and then resist it all the way in good. Right from here. Lower your toes, press the all about and stay out there. Think of it as your calf stretch. I'm gonna have you lower your heels all the way down heaven and then lift them all the way up good. So we're working the mobility, the flexibility and lift good lower into the stretch and lift up good. You wanna be careful that you don't pop those ankles. So that's my job is, is to find and help you to go a little bit deeper into your practice and find your correct form. It can take time. I'm gonna have you now bend one knee, let one heel lower, stay out there. If you can bend this knee and then change one and we call prancing in one, pull in and two, it's a deeper stress, right? Uh And two because I'm gonna get you going in a moment for three and three. Give me one more for four and four and then bend your knees. Just bring the carriage in. The reformer is set up with springs. I'm gonna take some springs off to make it a little bit lighter, but you know, you're gonna have to move it now with your hand and so these ears straps, arms will go straight up. Wait a minute. Come back home. Bring your legs to table. I remember my coffee is right here. Cup of coffee is here all day. Keep the length of your spine. You're gonna take it in. Now. Can we use your X out? Pull the belly in and return now, can you bring your head and shoulders up? Crawl up into it. Yes and return. Pull the belly in. That's ok. I don't count that one. If you click that carrot for 21 stole the coffee, we're gonna come back because we just got the wrap. We're gonna come back and we'll talk to, uh, we'll talk to Scott and there's gonna be at six o'clock, you got it. There you go. I'm not gonna be joining the class. Don't worry, that's it.
