First up, now you're holding your perfect position. Take your feet real nice and wide and we’re going to go down and we’re going to do some squats or plies. Hold it right in front, good toned back down and open. What’s your little one’s name? Seymour: Brooklyn. Andrea: Brooklyn? Oh perfect for New York. Let’s go down to that five times Brooklyn, she’ll like this. [Demonstration] Andrea: And I want you to take her down and then lift her straight up over your head. Can you try that? Ready? [Demonstration] Andrea: Good job Seymour. She was just like “I'm not quite sure about that one”. And I noticed you were sitting over here taking a break. Let me show you a couple of exercise you can do while you're on the chair. Okay, first exercise, scoot forward, put your hands on the edge of the chair, and you're going to go down and up. Bend those arms five times. How does that feel. Male: Great. Andrea: Good. That helps build your upper body. Now, I want you to hold it right there and I wanted you to walk your feet outward and lift your hips up. Walk your feet that way and lift your hips up as high, nice and down and do that again four more times. This helps build your butt or back side, works your abs and your glutes. Can you feel that?
