Hi beautiful. I'm your coach Mela and this is your 10 minute bar express
0:05
What I'm going to need you to have with you is a bar. If you don't have a bar, you can use any surface that is hard
0:11
Make sure it doesn't move. Okay. And then you can have some ankle weights on your legs that is an option for you if you want to increase this a little bit more
0:20
Okay, so it's 10 minutes. Let's get straight into it. Take your legs nice and wide. Inhale, lengthening your arms all the way up
0:26
Create little circles with your upper body just to, oh, start to give a stretch
0:32
This is my favorite way of just warming up the spine. And then you're going to move the other way
0:38
Make it small. All right, from here, inhale, taking the arms up
0:45
Exhale, bend. You're going to stretch and lean forward to me. If you want to take your hands onto the floor, go for it
0:53
Get that deep stretch opening up the backs of your legs. Take a deep breath in and out through your heart
1:02
Spread your toes nice and wide. Hands on the floor. Three, two, one
1:07
Coming up all the way. Okay, let's come straight to the bar. So I want you to face on to the side
1:13
Both hands on the bar. We're going to start in your lunch. So I want you to come in the lunch
1:18
Have your hands nice and strong. Before we start, let's find that balance
1:22
We're going to take the arms out. We're going to lift up. So we exhale and inhale
1:26
I want you to use the resistance of your arms as you push down as if you were going through water
1:34
Exhale, inhale. We are accessing the muscles. We've got four, three, two, one
1:42
Hold the down arms out and pulse. Create circles with those hands
1:48
Press your arms, I get a little bit lower in your lunge and square off your hips

2:01
Keeping your hips nice and square. Five, four, three, two, and one
2:08
Coming forward. All right, we're going to lean forward. What I want you to do is make sure you're not too close
2:14
So what I want to say was you could be too close to the bar. Just come a little bit further back
2:19
All right, we're going to start by lifting your leg up to the sky
2:24
I am looking for a tiny movement. small it's not about height you lengthening through your torso and really making sure that
