I want to demonstrate the same thing to you from the back, so you can do it right along with me and then we're going to keep on going and learn some other variations. So, let's do it. Here's what we're going to do. Counting up the basic steps. Remember, take your shoulders, roll them back, stand up straight, put your hands up above your waist, arms spacing towards your stomach, bend your knees just a little bit, relax and do it. We're ready to start. Ready and one, two, three, five, six, seven again one, two, three, five, six, seven again one, two, three, five, six, seven again quick, quick, slow, quick, quick, stop.
