In this five‑minute guided fitness segment, instructor Carolina leads a concise flow that blends yoga‑style stretches with functional movement. She begins by inviting the participant to use a block or hand weight, then moves into a lengthened Child’s Pose while emphasizing breath connection. The sequence progresses through a series of dynamic cues: turning the block, performing a right‑leg donkey kick, maintaining core and thigh engagement, stepping into a long lunge with an overhead arm lift, transitioning into a half side plank, and finally balancing on a back‑step lunge. Throughout, Carolina stresses alignment, core stability, and breath awareness, offering optional variations (Option B) and encouraging a smooth, balanced flow.

Chapters

Have a block handy or a hand weight. Lengthen child's pose. Lift and turn that block around the world. My foot. You can use a slider too, or a towel. Connect with your breathing. Now turn from left to right. Donkey kick with your right. That block. Throwing you slightly out of balance. Keeping your core tight and engaged, keep that left thigh tight as well to keep your alignment. Good. Step in front. Long lunge. Lift your right hand up. Bring your left in towards your right heel and lift that right on this half side plank. Back step, and we're going to balance here. Good. Lunge. Option B, this is what you do. Last one.
