All right, Tap and reach across, Jill. Starting a little later, but here first. Live from the Netherlands. Welcome. All right, so take it over your head if you miss in the beginning. Similar format to that ignite with weights that we had this past Monday. If you are following the challenge, let's bring those hamstrings up. We're gonna have three circuits, three exercises each round, three rounds in each circuit. So three, three, and three. We start back to basics round, 40 seconds. That is where we nailed down our form. We can go heavy with it. Alyssa's saying background music is a little loud. Maybe Kurt can come fix that. That's a nice thing about these live workouts. Take it here. So start back to basics for 40 seconds. 20 seconds. Second round, we add a challenge for 30 seconds, 15 seconds of rest. Last round is our ignite round. 20 seconds, 10 seconds of rest. So take it to those modified jacks. If you want to take them full jacks, you can remember, be where you are today. So whatever that is, so you can stick with whatever version is good for you. If you want to stay back to basics the whole time, you can. If you want to add that challenge and that ignite, you can take it there. It's gonna move quickly, even though it is repeating circuits, which I know not all of us love, but it's gonna move quickly because we decrease in time. All right, Henry is here, Pam is here. Go ahead and shake it out. Grab your heavy dumbbells. We're gonna take it side lunge. Here's what we got. So it is a side lunge. We're actually going to do 20 seconds each side. All right, I want you to get low if you can. You can keep it stationary. You can move into it. Let's take it to the right. Heavy weights in 3, 2, 1. 20 seconds here. Push up all on one side. So it's a 42nd round, but we are taking it half and half on this first one. So here and here. Sit low into that hip. Switch your sides right here. Other side. Remember, you can keep it stationary, too. That would look just like this. Just lean into that hip, right? Yes. This is your back to basics round. 5 seconds. Heather, first time catching alive. Yay. And relax. All right, so you got 20 seconds to breathe. I'm gonna go a little lighter for my shoulder. Go Ahead and come down on the mat. I know we don't normally start on the mat, but we're doing it. Join me on the mat, and we're gonna take it to our basic chest press. Join me here. Here we go. If you need to modify, if you're in my pregnancy crowd, you may want to be up in that bridge. Otherwise, if you want to add that bridge to add a little extra glutes, you can. It is up to you. This is the full 42nd round, and it's back to basics. So again, I want you to think about everything that's working here. Core is engaged either way. Elbows come wide, and it's your basic press motion. 10 seconds to go. And breathe. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Relax. So stay right here. Why not open up that those arms to get a little stretch modification for this core round is just a bridge. We're gonna start with that, if you can. We're gonna take it to that slow bicycle just here to here. You know it. You love it. Take your time. In three, two, one. Here we go. I want you to really slow it down. Slow and controlled. Elbow to knee, and all those things we talk about with the core, right? Wrap that core, hips to ribs. Making sure we're not arching our back, that you really tilt the pelvis. Bring those hips towards your ribs, towards your head. Feel the difference when you make that little shift, little pelvic tilt. And we're breathing through. 10 seconds, slow and controlled. Then we're back up onto our feet. We got 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Up onto your feet, team. All right, this is where we add the challenge. We have 30 seconds of work, followed by 15 seconds of rest. We are going to take it. Add a knee right here. We'll go 15 seconds, right, 15 seconds left. Side lunge and knee. Here we go. Down and knee. Take it down and knee. If you'd rather just keep it back to basics with just your side lunge, Go for it. Push out of the hip, shift your weight. Last one. Yes. Other side. Take it here and knee. I don't want you to rush it. I know it's a short time interval, but really get low, push out of the hip. Quality over quantity. Last one and breathe. Right, 15 seconds back down on the mat. Now let's everybody add that bridge. Chest press and bridge core. Engage. We're here to here. 3, 2, 1. So we're adding a little bit of glutes and hamstrings. We're also stretching out those hip flexors, so it should feel kind of good. On those quads and hip flexors, chest press and bridge should be appropriate for everybody. If that doesn't feel good for you, you just keep the press totally fine. Up and in, down and out. Core engage. Breathe. Yes. Three, two, one. And relax. Stay here. We're gonna take that bicycle, but we're gonna take it with a little bit of pulse. 3, 2, 1. Here's your challenge. 3, 2, 1. When we're pulsing, you're pulsing the knee in just as much as pulsing it out. Here we go. 3, 2, 1. So you're pulsing in the upper body, pulsing as the knee comes in, but still slow and controlled. Right? Breathe. Yes. See, I told you these repeating circuits were going to go quickly because we decrease the time. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Up onto your feet. Here's what we got. Team, we are going to make it slightly more challenging. It is your ignite round. Here's what we got. We're gonna go 20 seconds each side. On this side lunge, you're taking it here, you're turning it here. You're turning it. So you're keeping it low the whole time. If that feels weird, that picking up your feet, don't worry. You just keep the side lunge. Side lunge, two, lunge. Side lunge to lunch. 20 seconds. Let's get it done. Three, two. Right side only. Here we go. Side lunge. Pick your feet up. Turn, regular lunge. Pick your feet up. Side lunge. I know that's a little weird. So again, if you need to, you just keep your regular, right? And breathe. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Catch your breath. 10 seconds. Let's get it. Other side. So don't rush it. I can feel myself wanting to go quick, actually sit into it. Turn your feet, turn your feet. Here we go. Side lunge, turn, Regular lunge, Turn, ignite. Right, so when we get to that ignite round, it doesn't always mean we're gonna add high intensity, high impact or high impact, it means we're gonna up the intensity and the challenge in. Last one. Breathe. Yes. Relax. All right, team, so down onto your back. Here's what we got this time. You can just keep it there or just your press, or add that bicycle. Ignite round, core engage. Join me down here in three, two. Bicycle and chest press. If the bridge is right for you, take the bridge. If you want to keep it, back to basics just with the press, keep it just with the press. 20 seconds is all we need. And up. Yes, you can. And breathe. You can probably guess what that means, that we're Gonna do something different with that bicycle on the way back. Yes. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Relax. You can keep it just right here for your bicycle, or if you can, sprinters crunch elbow to knee. So it's like a bicycle at the top. Use that deep core. Power it up slowly down. You got it in three, two, one. Here we go. But remember, be where you are today. You do you. If that doesn't feel right for you or you don't feel like you're getting as much out of it because you're tempted to use momentum, stay low with the bicycle. It still is gonna work your body. Remember, I want you to challenge yourself in a way that is good for you. Last one right here. And breathe. Relax. Michelle is gonna join anyway. First live workout. Grab a sip of water. Right? Didn't that go fast? Let's see. Jennifer. Hey from the BAC Popping in to say hi. All right, so that's why it works, right? That ignite round, there was nothing crazy about it. There might be coming up, but we just are adding on. But again, if you stick with round one, if you stick with back to basics, all three sets, totally fine. You are still getting a killer workout. You do what is best for you. All right? Catch your breath. Right, but that's why it works. Hopefully everybody else is breathing a little hard. It's not just me. All right, so here we go. We are going to take it with our deadlift. I'm gonna go heavier because we can. Right, so let's take a deadlift. Starting back to basics. We're just here to hear core is engaged, right? Everything's pulled up and in. Let's get it done. 40 seconds. In 3, 2, 1. So it's a hinge just here. Weights come right down the front of the legs and then power it up. Yes. Robin, first time. Bonnie is just joining and up. Really making sure those shoulder blades are pulled back on that hinge. So we're avoiding the rounding in the back. Right? Keep your eyes up, out in front. Squeeze at the top. As you connect with those glutes and hamstrings, I want you to really also connect with that core, that deep core. 10 seconds. Back to basics here. You know what? You love it. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Yes. All right, so we're gonna take it with a row. Here's what we got, team. I'm gonna try those. All right, so we're gonna stagger it here. We're gonna take it our first 20 seconds, one foot forward. Then we're gonna switch it and we're gonna go wide. Put one foot forward, hinge it. Ready? Here we go. So we got 20 seconds. Elbows up. I know that's a lot of hinge, right? You're feeling it in your back. So really engage with the core. Squeeze here. Elbows right up. Yes, you can. Boom. Yes. Switch your legs. Take it wide. Oh, 15s. Right, wide. If that's too much, just take it somewhere in between. Split the difference. But you're hinging into that leg. Wide. Yes. Three, two, one. Relax. I know. All right, so let's take it here. We're taking it with a high, low. Windmill. So here are your options. You can take it. Windmill. We'll go 20 seconds each side. Right through here. If that is too much, you just pick. You're either going low or you're going high. Let's get it done. Windmill core, engage. It's a hinge. Take it down. 20 seconds. Bring it up. It's core, it's shoulders, it's everything working together. So if two weights is too much, you just pick. Just like a kettlebell. If you're going high or low. Right here and breathe. Last one. Switch it right here. Other side. Give yourself time. Take it up. It's our long round. 20 and 20. Remember, you're getting that stretch through the side. Yes. And then it's a hinge right down the front of your body. Last one. Boom. Relax. All right, team, we are back to our deadlift. This time, you're gonna alternate one leg if that is right for you. If that's not, then I want you to hinge it with a kickstand. Just like that, right? Let's get it done. You got this. Grab those heavies if you can. It's 30 seconds. In 3, 2, 1. So either kickstand or one leg, but we're alternating, so you really got to take your time. Right. Kickstand just looks like this. Push it up. Looks like this. Push it up. Yes, you can. And breathe. Mary joining for the first time live. Yes. One more and relax. Yes. All right, team, so here's what we got. We got one dumbbell. We're gonna curtsy row, tap it up. Curtsy row, tap it up. I want you to get low in that curtsy lunge. It's gonna be tough, but we're going 30 seconds each side with that row. So zip up that core. I know I'm throwing you with these two sided, right? So curtsy into a lunge. If that's too much, I just want you to take it one at a time. Feel free. To go two if you want, but let's take it here. Here. Tap here. Yes. So not so much a hinge. It's that curtsy right here. And tap flat and up. I know. And breathe. Ah, last one. Stretch your back. Give yourself a second. We're doing same thing. Other side again. You can just keep a hinge. Just keep a row or tap it back behind. Cores engage curtsy row in three, two, one. Here we go. Tap it up. So I'm just tapping in towards that back leg. It's up to you. Breathe. Yes. Bring it up.

All right, so joining me back here, we're going to our plie squat. All right, we're taking it just right here, nice and wide. You can rest the weights here, or you can have them down in the center, or you can have them goblet. We're gonna start with that. Then we're going to a curl and a press. Then we'll add on. Then we got a plank. That is it, team. Let's get it done. Try to go heavy with that plie. Grab those weights. We're starting in 10 seconds. Nice and wide. Core zipped, Chest open and proud. Weight in those heels. 3, 2, 1, plie. 40 seconds. Remember, this is back to basics. So this is where we really slow it down. We focus on that form. Connect with the core. Lori loves every move. I'm so glad I'm sweating. My heart rate is up. My muscles are feeling it again. You can have those weights down in the center, if that's better for you. Or goblet right here. This also works. Yes, you can burn. Yes. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Catch your breath. All right, set those down. We're going curl and press. So super simple curl, press here to here. Pull and push. Pull, push. Let's get it done. Core engage. One foot back for balance if you need it, or parallel, whatever's good for you. Zip up that core. Here we go. Curl, press. Down and down if you can. I want you to do that standard curl and wrapping it around. So here, wrap it out, wrap it in so we get that shoulder mobility coming in and out. Instead of that hammer, we're going to add that hammer grip in our second round. So keep it here. Turning it out, up and down. Yes. Rotation through our shoulders, but also elbows and wrist. Really important, especially for as much work as we do on our computer, our computers and our phones to get that mobility. Relax. Yes, team. All right, take it in to a plank. We're gonna start on our elbows. Let's get it done. Just holding. We got 42nd hold. So pull everything in. Zip up in that core. Hips to ribs, on your elbows. If you need to modify, I want you to be on knees and take it to bird dog. Otherwise, join me here. Here we go. So just holding in this first round. Everything's pulled up and in. Little tilt to the pelvis. Now, what do I mean by that? Not this, right? But really try to bring your hips towards your belly button without arching. Right? Just a little tuck, making sure you're breathing. And I want you to squeeze tight in those legs and glutes. I had a training once where continuing education, where they were telling us if I were to take touch your glutes or your quads, they wouldn't move. Right. Nice and tight. But we're also making sure we're breathing. Same thing with the core, Same thing with the back. Everything is tight while we breathe normally and relax. Stretch it back. I know that's a lot to think about. All right, so here's what we got, team. We are taking it with the plie. Walk it in, regular squat. Walk it out. That's your challenge. Plie to regular up to you as to how you want to do that. If you want to just keep one, take it. We got 30 seconds. Here we go. Plie. Turn them in regular. Turn them out. Right. It's 30 seconds. Take your time with that movement. Notice we're adding a lot of movement to those challenge rounds and those ignite rounds. Right. Again, mobility, the ability to move well, that's what we want. So we want to be strong in those static Movements and strong as we change it up. Last one. Take it in. Breathe. All right, we got 30 seconds. Curl and press. You can keep it just like we did. Take a hammer or clean press. Yes, you can. Right, clean press. Core engage in three, two, one. Here we go. Clean. If you're not familiar with the clean, I want you to just do hammer, curl and press like this. Up, up. All it is is adding a little hinge and power as we get those weights up. So you're using the power from the back of your body to get into that curl and press, press. Power. Yes. Last one. Boom. Relax. All right, so we're in that plank. Here's what we got, team. We love to hate it. Let's go plank press. Plank press. Let's keep the. The core engaged while we add a little upper body. You can do it. Join me here. In three, two, one. Here we go. You're up, you're down. I don't want you to rush on this. I want you to try to keep those hips steady. Yes. They're going to move a little bit, but try to keep them in. If you're modifying down to those knees, core is still working, pelvis is still tucked. Everything is lifting. Push through that upper body. So again, push and pull. Pull with the core, push with the upper. Last one. Three, two, one. One. Relax. Yes. We made it. Ignite round. Let's do it. Here's what we got, team. No weights.

All right, team, so we got that plank. How about. Let's just take it to a plank jack. Why not? Let's just add a little bit of movement. Minute. Because we're getting some power on this last round. Either on your elbows or on your hands. Plank Jack, 20 seconds is all you need. Feel that core. Wrap it in. Whatever level is good for you. Here we go. 20. Notice you don't have to go super fast. I'm not worried about speed. I want core engagement. I want a little bit of extra. Whatever extra is for you. Your extra is gonna look different than my extra. 3, 2, 1. Relax. Yes, team.

If you can't get it up that high, just might just tilt it forward to get that hip flexor and quad right through here. Workout was the with weights version of this format. So dumbbells and kettlebells, we throw a few swings in there. It's a good time. And next Saturday's live. And the following will be the kettlebell and the body weight version. So should be fun. Like I said, I know a lot of us don't love repeating workouts, but when we go down into time, it's pretty fun, right? It goes so fast. Linda says that was a quick workout. Jill, that was crazy. Allison, amazing. Mary Allen feels great. Dolores. Thank you. Yes. We're gonna do more of this format. All right, team, we'll get some more stretching while we talk, but let's get one big, deep breath in and out. You did it. That was your full body dumbbell ignite workout. Great job, everybody. Ellie is loving ignite. Olivia. Oh, yes. Scheduling your call. Let's see. Workout every day. Still no changes. Should I change? Should I have my call with you or Vivian? You know, it is totally up to you. So what she's talking about in the athletic club, when you sign up for a yearly membership, you get a free discount discovery call with either me or Vivian, who's our body fit dietitian. And those calls can be whatever you need them to be. So some people do them with me if they have a lot of fitness questions. Thank you. And some people do them with Vivian if they want to talk nutrition. So I think it's up to you. If you're feeling good about your workouts, maybe you want to look a little more on the nutrition side. But if you feel like you could step up in your workouts, then join me. Either one is is fine. Linda loved every minute. Headed to a craft fair with your bff. That sounds like a fun weekend. Allison says ignite has been tough, but a great challenge. Tough because you're working hard, right? It's hard because you're working hard. Sarah and Nyla loved it. Excellent. All right, team, I gotta get my water. I definitely did not drink enough water this morning. Whoo. Always a good idea to remember to pre hydrate, right. To make sure you're hydrating before your workout. That's why I have a glass of water first thing in the morning. We've done challenges before. We talk about this in the bac. Water before coffee, always a good idea. Water before meals, always a good idea. Did not do a good job about that this morning. Natalie says fun didn't really feel like it, but there were changes every round. Yeah, that's what I'm trying to do. Right. So. So it doesn't feel like the same every round. And when we decrease the time, it goes quick. Andrew, it feels like you're finally getting it. Knowing my form better, engaging my core. Thank you. Ah. Noticing the difference, guys, Look, I know that I talk a lot in workouts and I know a lot of you prefer that because you want to be coached through. It feels like we're hanging out, which is fun. There's a big trend in workouts right now of just straight up music and, and intervals and no talking. But I want that connection. Right? Exactly. What you are talking about, Andra, is the more I say it, the more you're thinking about all of those little things. Breathing. Core engagement is huge. All those little form connections. The reason I do that is because it is going to click just like you're talking about. You hear it enough, you're reminded of it that all of a sudden you're like, wow, I feel so, so much more in that specific exercise or that, you know, that move or in that workout. Because I was thinking about all of those things. So that's why I'm talking the whole time. Let's see. Laura. Love the format. Invigorated. I love that word. That's a good one. Rachel says great workout goes fast. Since you make it fun. That's the idea. Paula's 65 year old self could do a second workout. You did it. I'm so proud of you, Paula. That's also what I love about the body fit community and we see it in the athletic club too is we have all different ages, all different fitness levels, all different life stages. And everybody is showing up in their own way and working hard. Proud of you, Paula. Betsy. Love the progression. It felt good to be back without modifications. Yes. I'm so glad you're back, Olivia. As a follow up, I'm guessing because nutrition is 80% of the results, I should see Vivian. Yes. Let's talk. Send me, send me. I mean, the thing, Olivia, about the Athletic Club is, yes, we have that discovery call of as part of the perk for the yearly membership. But by being in the club, that is where you get that access to me and Vivian. I love answering questions in this type of a format or when you guys respond to YouTube videos or social media. But the club is where we really get to know you and we can help you on your personal journey. So I think you'll be fine with either because you get that access to us in the club. We are there answering your questions. We both go live every week, sometimes twice a week where you can ask those questions and we can answer in real time. So I wouldn't worry about needing it to be, you know, like needing a bunch of separate calls. Schedule with whoever sounds more right for you at this moment. But just by being in the Athletic Club, that is the difference. People often ask, you know, I give the free calendars. Everything on YouTube is free. What is the difference with the membership? It's that you get that personal guidance. You get that support from me and Vivian. We are there to answer your questions and to support you in your personal journey versus, you know, this big, amazing body fit community that I love. So that's the difference. So I wouldn't worry about it. You are going to get the support that you need. Join the lives, ask your questions in those as well. Let's see. All right. Lori loves repeating workouts with descending intervals. Right. So fun. I love any workout with descending intervals. Right? Don't we all? Windmills with the press were fun, right? It's challenging. Hey, thanks for joining Jess. Happy Mother's Day, Louise. First time joining from Ireland. Let's see. Chris, thanks for joining Nyla. The connection and the explanations help me get the right form. I'm so glad. Yes and yes. I'm going to talk you through it, especially when you're on the mat and you can't see us. Lori, talk as much as you need. All right, good. Thank you for the affirmation, guys, because I know I talk a lot, but it's because I can't. I can't do it and not talk you through it. I want you to be thinking about all the things. They're also reminders for me as well. Melanie, great workout. I like the three different time changes in each round. I keep hearing you say you can do anything in 20 seconds. Right. You can do anything in 30 seconds. You can do anything is the takeaway. Right. Let's see. Mary Ellen says the lives in the bac not generally, not crowded, easy to ask your questions. Yes. And the other thing people ask. We do these lives at different times throughout the week. We mix up our times because we know people have different stuff schedules and our different time zones. But they all stay up in the athletic club so you can view them at any time. If you can't make it and you have a question, you can put your question in the event page and then we try to answer it. So super, super accessible. And you get such a supportive community like all these Mary Ellen, Jess, Melanie, all these friends commenting. That's why I know them. I know Jess is healing from a foot injury. I know Melanie is probably going to come go for a run later today or tomorrow. We know we get to know you. So that's what's fun about it. But yes, really accessible. Let's see. Michelle working out with five years now help me gain strength and guts to get in so much better shape. Oh, that makes me so happy. I love, love, love when we celebrate feeling strong. Right. That is everything. Awesome. Chelsea says the lives in the athletic club are great. So informative. Really feels like hanging out with the community. Yeah. We talk back to each other. So much fun. And usually we cover a specific topic. Like this week. Really informative. Vivian talked about what happens to your body when you drink coffee. Spoiler. It's all good news. I talked about muscle confusion. What is that? Because it's sort of a trendy term that goes around. So we cover topics and then we also get to whatever questions you have. Let's see. Paula. Be where you are today has helped me so much. You guys know I will shout it from the rooftops. It is my thing. I want you to be where you are today. Showing up is the most important thing. Show up, move your body. I want to help you reach those goals. I want to help you whatever goal it is. And it's totally fine if it is about a size or weight loss or body recomposition or if it's about strength or if it's just overall health, which I love because that's all of our goals. Right. I want to help you reach those goals. But at the end of the day, I just want to keep. Keep you moving. I want you to keep you consistent. I want to keep you moving so you feel good and strong in your body because you deserve it. Let's see. Lori is asking, what's the best way to do a squat? So Tamika and husband Terrence joined again. Yes. I'm so glad. I love when your partners and your friends join, or like Michaela and her mom works, working out together, it's. That's always so fun to hear. Way to go, Terrence. I mean, Tamika is very consistent, but I'm very proud of you as well. So, Lori, I don't know if you're asking about, like, what squat is more effective or form on a squat, so maybe if you can clarify that question, I can answer both. So when it comes to a squat, we talk about your regular squat. We talk about your. Your sumo squat, your transverse squat. They're all different ways to work your major muscle groups in your lower body. So quads, hamstrings, glutes, hips, core, of course, is engaged. All of that strengthening our knee joints, our hips, our ankles, all of that. One thing I do talk about a lot is there's sometimes people have a lot of questions about, you know, if that regular squat, your knees need to be totally forward, you know, just here versus our sumo squat, which is out. All of us sort of have a natural bone structure, a way that our knees and joints want to go. So if you notice on my regular squat, I do have a little bit of turnout. I think that gives us a little bit of space. Usually it means we can get lower. So watch the difference. If that's my regular squat, my knees go out a little bit. I can get lower than if I just try to be here, Right? I would much rather you work on getting low. So if that means you need to have a wider stack stance or you need to turn those toes out trying to get low, this is more effective. I know not everybody has the range of motion. Maybe your knees feel it. When you get low, I encourage you to. To use a chair. Actually sit down in a chair and stand up to give yourself that form support, that balance support. But when we can, what we call break parallel, instead of here, we're here. Like, this is our parallel, right? We can. We can get here. We can recruit more hamstrings, more glutes. It is better for our knees because we have more support. So trying to get low in terms of what squats are more effective. They all are. Listen, there is a Reason the squat is in almost every single workout ever. Right? So functional. We do it all day long. When you get in and out of a chair, when you get off the toilet, when you get out of your car. That squat motion is in our daily lives, so we want to train for it and progressively overload in our workouts. Okay, let's see. Paula, is the Athletic Club okay on the phone? I didn't like the workouts on my phone. No. So the Athletic Club, just to clarify, you'll do the same calendar as everybody, but we have a lot of extras. You get bonus burns. You get substitution workouts. You'll get that calendar, but it will all link out to. To YouTube. So you can do your workouts any way you want. Use all of the. All the other action on the Athletic club takes place in the Facebook group so that you could access on the phone or on your computer. Tons of options. But it's not a specific app yet. But it is so you can access it. Computer, laptop, cast your tv, all of that. So let's see. Tiffany. Absolutely. Solution challenge. Has my waist tiny. I'm so glad. Now it's just ready to shred more with ignite, right? Probably because you learn to engage that core, right? That so often happens when we think, oh, my gosh, I have to do more core work. I have to cut my calories. I have to, you know, eat a certain way to get my core feeling good. And often it is about posture, it's about alignment, it's about engagement. So my guess is that's what's happening. Proud of you, Tiffany. All right, team, I'm gonna sign off here in just a minute. Paula says I have trouble getting on and off the floor. I think that's super common, especially with age. What I would say is, in a workout like this, I know we move really quickly. Take your time. If you need to hit pause or you need to start your set later, take your time getting out, down and up. And another thing I like to say is anytime you're getting down and up off the floor in a workout, that is part of the workout. Listen, that is challenging, right? And that is functional. So, so important. Because we never know. There are so many things. You know, for me, it's like my kids, right? But as we age, it could be cleaning, it could be playing with your grandkids, it could be yard work. All of the. It's getting in and out of the bathtub. All of those very functional things we do in life. So treat getting down to the floor and getting back up as part of your workout. One thing I will say that I think is super helpful is to go down to the side. So if you can, you know, use a chair or something for balance, but usually the lunge to here and then down, and then as you come, roll to your side, come back up. I think too often we think it has to be okay, and back up. All right. And back down. I mean, even that is hard for me. Right. And I do it all the time in workouts. Take your time. Think of it as part of the workout, and know that every time you do it, you're getting stronger for life. Right? All right, team, thank you so, so much. So, still time to join the athletic club. We have the code ignite right now, which is half off your first month. We have body fit 100, 100 off the year. Remember, the yearly is when you get that discovery call with me or Vivian. And we have some fun stuff coming up tomorrow, so make sure you check your emails, I think. Do we have the new apparel up, Kurt? Most of it. All right, guys, so get excited. This is something you all have asked me for, and I'm so excited. We have baby onesies and T shirts for toddlers and shirts for Body Fit moms. So get excited. There's so many things happening. Check your email. But if you check the apparel, we do have some Strong leg mommy body fit by mom, or strong leg mom body fit by mommy. I just think it'll be so fun to see those on your littles. So make sure that you send me a picture. You tag me on social media once you get them, but just want to celebrate all of your hard work for everybody. We're honoring the moms tomorrow, but I'm so proud of everyone in this community. I know I have a lot of mothers because of my prenatal postnatal, but we are such a diverse community across the world, and it makes me so, so happy to keep moving with all of you. Have a great weekend, everybody. And I. Oh, oh, that's the other thing. All right, team. I didn't know. I thought that was maybe a surprise. All right, so the other thing that's coming up in your email tomorrow is that we are launching a new YouTube channel specifically for the prenatal and postnatal called Body Fit Moms. So make sure you find it and you follow. It'll be in your email tomorrow. Will be slowly moving over the content. It will still be on this channel as well. But if that is you or you have a friend in your life who is pregnant or newly postpartum. So much great, great content over there, so make sure that you subscribe to that as well. We'll still have everything going on on the Body Fit by Amy channel as well, but exciting things. You guys get the inside scoop. It's all coming in your email tomorrow and I will see you for your workouts next week. Thank you so so much. Have a great weekend. Everybod.
