DrTri Weekly Health & Fitness HomeWork 12/15/08 Video

This is the video to accompany the DrTri Weekly Health & Fitness HomeWork for the week of 12/15 to 12/21.

This week's homework is:
Every morning, first thing when you wake up, perform the DrTri Daily Double - A combination of 'Moving Hips Up and Down' with 'Scorpions'. This is a dynamic flexibility movement exercise to get your low back and hips activated and mobilized for the day. Breathe in on the hips up in the air and breathe out on the hips down towards the ground. Breathe comfortably during the Scorpions aspect. Perform 10 repetitions of each part of the movement. 10 hips up and down, and 10 scorpions on each leg.
GO SLOW and controlled!
During the Moving Hips Up and Down, allow your hips to relax at the bottom and hang from your shoulders. On the way up, contract your abs.
For the Scorpions you can go straight up with the leg or cross-over leading with the toes towards the fingertips, depending on your comfort and personal flexibility...
Ideally, do this in a silent environment, so that you may also have a little time for your mind to be quiet before you jump into the day.

Have Fun,
DrTri
