Hi! I'm Dina Prioste and welcome to Get Exercised. Well, this show is one-year old today and some of you maybe wondering why we haven't even touched on standing postures yet. Well, this really doesn't matter as it really does suck to shoot longshots in my tiny apartment and I have to stand in the bad light.
Well, avoid no more; we are moving on to standing poses today. Let's get to it. So we are going to start our standing postures, adventures with the Warrior Two pose because it's a great way to start to open up the hips and inner thighs. So take a wide stands with your right butt pointing to the front of the map and bend your right knee.
We are going to angle the back foot in so the toes are little bit right in that direction about 45 degree angle here. So you're going to take it as low as you comfortably can for your hip flexibility. So if you are less flexible, you will be up here, down to more flexible side, take it low, and just make sure that your knee is on top of the ankle and not in front of that. Whatever, and you also want to make sure that this front knee is not -- came in like that, you want to make sure to fade out in the direction of your toes on your right foot.
Now we are going to take the arms wide, keep the arms nice and active. This is a full body workout, keep the left foot nice and active and you are constantly pressing down to your feet, your whole body working and gaze out over your right middle finger. Warrior Two is a great leg and booty former. We are going to inhale straight in the leg, exhale, bend the knee, inhale, take it up and exhale down. So this exercise is a great way to just gently start to open up the hips. So after 346 of these, just kidding, you are going to hold in your Warrior Two again even lower.
So as you practice Yoga more and more, you are going to begin to notice that your body gets more flexible, obviously, hopefully, right? So you have to keep challenging yourself to make sure in your Warrior Two that you are nice and low. If your hips become more flexible you need take that back foot back a little bit. Oh! I think it down and I feel even better, like whatever, it's just whatever, do you think has -- and so not better and we are not there together whatever in the same whatever and this is like cool and just think, forget it.
Now when you are done, take a right leg forward bend. So keep practicing Warrior Two for firm legs and booties and to get ready for more awesome standing poses. The next week we are getting back on the floor under the good light to practice some core strengthening. Yes, yes, yes, I love it! Thanks for watching, I am Dina Prioste and you have just been exercised.
