 Good morning my beautiful internet friends and welcome back. Today we're gonna do something a little bit different I was down at my desk working and I just felt so Compressed and stuck and like I just needed to do something so I thought I would come upstairs Put my yoga mat down and do like a five or ten minute just Movement, uh, I'm missing a leg So this is gonna be sort of a really really basic yoga slash Stretching slash we're gonna do a few push-ups in here sort of just get our bodies moving for a few minutes So if you want to join in come along with me now I will note I am not a professional. I'm not been training this. I have done yoga for a few years prior to losing my leg So I'm just kind of figuring out what it looks like now without a leg So, uh, none of this is is medically recommended if you have any questions talk to a professional or your doctor But this is just what I'm doing to entertain myself to stretch my own body out If you want to join in come along with me. Please note even if you have two legs, you can definitely do this along with me It's not amputee specific. It's just a really basic movement warm up. So join in if you feel like it Start by laying out your yoga mat and hopping or walking over depending on how many limbs you have We're gonna start in a tabletop position and stretch out our backs and our necks So we're gonna do that by cat and cow that is accomplished by breathing in as I arch my back down And breathe out as I push up. So it looks just like this if you want to follow along We're gonna breathe in Come down arch your back down try to keep your shoulders away from your ears And then breathe out and push up into that arch We're gonna do this just one more time breathing in and breathing out Good job, and then put one arm up to the sky thread it underneath your body like this This is gonna stretch out your back in a lovely way Go ahead and hold it here for a couple of deep breaths And then we're gonna go ahead and push up and do the same thing on the other side So reach the opposite hand up thread it underneath your body And breathe into that stretch Once that feels good, we're gonna come back up and lean back into child's pose Keep your arms flat on the ground. You can kind of push down into them. That helps stretch a little bit deeper Now we're gonna come up to our toes in our hands And go ahead and lower yourself down If you can get up on your back feet And arch your back up try to keep your shoulders away from your ears Come back down and push up into downward facing dog as the yogis call it We're gonna go ahead and do this whole sequence one more time. So bend down Arch up Flip down to downward facing dog Breathe in deep and we're gonna do this one last time. So breathe in as you are pushing up And then breathe out when you push back down to downward facing dog We're gonna transition to get our heart moving a little bit So I'm going to curl my knee into my chest and then push it back Five times on each side Now switch legs and five on the other side as well From here, we're going to come back down And do five push-ups. Feel free to do these from your knees or from your toes We're gonna go ahead and repeat this whole thing. So come back to your hands and knees and Knee into your chest and back five times on each side and switch sides This strengthens your core muscles and your butt muscles. That's always nice Now we're going to come back to child's pose and just breathe deeply into that I always get a really good stretch out of my back there Now we're going to transition to a sitting position But before we do that rock back and forth if you are on a comfortable surface This helps to loosen up and warm up our backs As I come up. I'm just going to go ahead and stretch forward reach for my toes. There's no need to touch them Just a quick little stretch will return to this and we're going to start on some crunches There are lots of different ways to achieve this I like to keep my legs in the air that makes it a little more challenging But feel free to keep your feet on the ground if that is better for you Once we've completed 10 crunches we're going to do leg lifts Mine are a little bit easier considering I'm missing about five pounds off with one leg But whatever I'm still going to call this workout This we're also going to do 10 times two and one We're going to keep up with the ab workout here and twist side to side This has been called a bicycle exercise. I'm not sure what to call it, but it looks like this It works your abdominal muscles and your obliques, which are your side muscles So we're going to switch back and forth 10 times while attempting to breathe still which I am struggling with in this video almost there Now we're going to flip onto our stomachs And work our back muscles a little bit So what you're going to do is keep everything flat on the ground and then lift it up As you breathe out a little bit per second So your toes are going to come off the ground just a tiny little bit Your hands are going to come off the ground just a little bit And you're going to hold or release that one more time So hold everything up Make sure you keep your head facing the ground so you don't hurt your neck and release. Good job Now we're going to come back to child's pose It's a good place to breathe for a second and relax back to your knees for five more push-ups because I love push-ups And they're good for you And from here we're going to rotate our legs out to the side like so this helps with hip muscles This is definitely something that helps me as I'm trying to strengthen my legs getting ready for hopefully one day across that leg So we're just going to do that five times on each side Now since we worked those muscles, we're going to go ahead and stretch out your legs and your back So breathing out just bring yourself forward Like I said before if you can touch your toes great if you can't great There's no accomplishment or achievement here. It's what your body can handle and what goes good to you So just breathe normally as you come forward and hold that stretch We're going to go ahead and release and switch to sides So bring one leg in as you stretch the other one out and reach over You know your foot if you have a foot Or do it like this if you don't have one Try to breathe into this stretch Focus on the way it feels And then turn so you are now facing over your leg and stretching more of your back muscles We're going to hold it here for a few seconds breathe deep Exhale as you push up and switch sides To start by touching your toes if you have them and going over to one side so you're stretching your side muscles Breathe deeply and when you're ready go ahead and turn so that you are now facing over your leg and Stretching more of your back muscles That pretty much includes our little mini workout stretch yoga session here But we want to finish with the most important part which is to lay flat on your back Before we come to rest here. Go ahead and stretch up that always feels good Now place your palms at your side facing up relax your legs relax every part of your body And this is called shabasana. We're just trying to focus on relaxing And letting go stay here as long as one, but i'm going to end the video here I don't know about you guys, but I feel a little bit better now.
