Imagine you’re holding a broom handle behind your head. Press it up toward the ceiling - and then resist as you bring it back down.

Instead of just letting your arms drop, keeping that resistance means your muscles are working through the whole movement.

Starting Mat Moves by getting the whole body moving.

Reaching up, then diagonally, gets the arms, shoulders and sides moving before we bring the feet in and add those kicks.

And Good Morning Starshine makes a pretty good soundtrack for it. 💛

I love when someone requests a song - it’s always fun to see what people want to dance to.

Brave is a great one for our Zumba Gold - lots of movement, great music and no jumping required.
A pretty good way to dance our way into Friday. 💛

A couple of little adjustments can make a big difference when you’re doing crunches.

A thin folded blanket under your head or a rolled towel under your neck can give you a little extra support.

As you lift, think about pressing your rib cage down to help engage your upper abdominal muscles.

Keep your eyes toward the ceiling and let your abdominals do the work rather than pulling on your head.💛

We start with a controlled step forward onto the ball of the foot, come back together and alternate sides.
Once you’ve got the movement, we take it to double time.

Same move, just a little quicker - bringing in more cardio and coordination while those arms keep moving too.

And then, of course… eight more! 😁

It’s easy to forget about our feet when we’re thinking about mobility.

Walking out your Downward Dog moves the feet and ankles, and as you bend one knee and then the other, you’re creating movement through the knees and hips too - while your shoulders stay strong and stable.

From your toes to your hips, there’s a lot going on in those few little steps. 💛

A little tap, tap, tap across, switch sides, add some arms and just go with the music.

No jumping needed. Just a fun Zumba combination, a great song and a little Friday dancing. 💛

This movement takes you side to side as you lunge, pivot through your feet and push toward the opposite wall.

You’re working your legs while adding rotation, coordination and movement through the upper body, all at the same time. 💛
