Start Your Week with a Quick Workout from MFF's Harold Gibbons

Hey Broadway World, it's Harald here from Mark Fisher Fitness, and today I'm going to show you a super simple home workout so you can get your fitness fix

Recently, it has felt entirely inappropriate to talk about fitness. I hope that you're doing the work, learning how to be a better ally, and we can't take care of those around us unless we take care of ourselves

So here are some moves for you. Our warm-up starts with glute bridges

Take 15 to 20 reps to focus on the sensations in your body and tune into the tension that you can create at the top

of each rep. From there, we're on to the half-nealing rainbow reach. The goal is to rotate your

rims across your pelvis, inhaling as you reach up, and exhaling as you come back down. Then it's

on to our trusted favorite, the Spider-Man lunch. Five to six reps here should help open up our

hips as we sit into the stretch and open our thoracic spine as we rotate and reach. Let's finish the

warm-up with hip circles, which I love for reminding our body how to organize itself against gravity. This

stability muscles in our feet, hips, and core to come online. Now it's time to work out

The single leg deadlift is one of my favorite exercises for teaching us how to sit into stance on one hip and balance being supple and stiff at the same time As you reach your hips back avoid turning out and letting those hips open Draw a line from your belly button to your big toe

Then move on to a short lever push-up. This one is particularly fantastic at teaching you how to pull your ribs back over your hips

so it's great for your core. In the top position, exhale and reach in unison so that you can create a canister

of pressure. This will help your plank and prepare you for a fantastic wood shopper

For this next move, grab a textbook or a sack of flour or a container of popcorn

Let's be honest, you probably have some playbills stacked up at home, right? Every time I do the woodchoper, I play the role of Rafiki presenting baby Simba at Pride Rock

I love how this exercise puts together the moving parts of our push-up and the wiggle

buck that we've been doing. Inhale as you reach to the outside of your knee and exhale

is you reach the object of your choice forward at forehead height. The goal is to use your reach and exhale to help keep your core engaged

There you have it. A quick warm up and then three moves for a mindful movement moment

Five to six reps per exercise for three to five rounds should be perfect for getting your fitness fix for the day
