March Matness 2023

Day 6: The One Leg Stretch

The first of the stomach series exercises, The One Leg Stretch (or Single Leg Stretch) gets the body ready to perform more demanding repertoire. The lower the stretched out leg, the more challenge you'll feel. If you feel that you need less challenge, keep your stretched out leg at a higher diagonal. Remember to keep curled up the whole time and exhale when pulling the knee towards you!

March Matness 2023

Day 2: The Roll Up

This exercise is all about spinal articulation, abdominals and hip flexors. Rolling down can be easier than rolling up, so if you're still struggling with that phase, don't worry. It'll come! Try securing the feet under a strap for better leverage. Your instructor has lots of tools to help you master the Roll Up, so ask for extra help if you need it.

March Matness 2023

Day 1: The Hundred is used as a warm up and to get your blood pumping. The Hundred is one of Joe's most iconic exercises. Some people feel that no workout is complete without this exercise. Also, love it or hate it, your instructor will probably cajole you into doing this exercise at some point!

MASKS REQUIRED ❗

Due to increasing levels of virus transmission in our region and in response to the Health Department’s most recent indoor masking guidance, we are requiring that all clients wear masks in-studio. While we acknowledge this will feel like a setback to some, we see this as a necessary step to protect the health and safety of our community.

I'VE BEEN EXPOSED - SHOULD I COME TO IN-STUDIO CLASSES❓

Low risk example: spending time with someone outdoors who later tests positive. At this level of exposure you are welcome to come to class with a mask.

Medium to high risk example: spending 15 minutes or longer with someone indoors and unmasked. At this exposure level, please stay home for five days and consider getting a PCR test before returning to class.

I've tested positive ❗

If you test positive for COVID and have been in the studio within 48 hours please let us know.

March Matness 2022

Day 31: The Push Up

The Push Up is our last March Matness exercise. Start standing, perform a Standing Roll Down, walk out on the hands into Plank position, perform three Push Ups with the elbows in along the ribcage, pike the hips up into Down Dog, walk the hands back towards the feet, then roll the body back up to the start position.

Congratulations, we're done!

Day 30: The Control Balance

The Control Balance is a Roll Over variation, with an added Scissor hold of the legs. If this type of movement isn't good for you, then skip it. Loaded flexion is contraindicated for a variety of reasons including osteoporosis and other spinal flexion-limiting injuries and conditions.

March Matness 2022

Day 29: The Rocking

The Rocking isn't for everyone due to a variety of factors. If your shoulders, spine or hips are uncooperative, feel free to sit this one out. Sometimes, just grabbing the ankles is challenging enough without lifting the body into extension.

March Matness 2022

Day 27: The Boomerang

The Boomerang combines The Roll Over, The Teaser and The Spine Stretch in a dynamic flowing way (the illustration cannot show all the movements). Ask your instructor if you're ready to learn The Boomerang. It's really fun and hopefully will bring you a lot of joy!

March Matness 2022

Day 26: The Side Bend

The Side Bend is a full Side Plank exercise. Alternate between Steps 2 & 3 a few times before resting the hips down. This exercise can be performed on the elbow, if the wrist is uncooperative or the shoulder girdle isn't strong enough yet.

March Matness 2022

Day 25: Side Kick Kneeling

Side Kick Kneeling combines a side Plank position with another series of hip abductor strengthening. Both sides of your body will be worked in this exercise. Just like in the Side Kick exercise from Day 21, Joe only documented swinging the leg front to back but these days, we add lift and lower and leg circles, too. Start kneeling, then tip to one side with smooth control. Complete your set of movements and then return to kneeling with smooth control before performing all on the other side.

March Matness 2022

Day 23: Swimming

Swimming is an exercise that involves the simultaneous use of many of the extensors on the body. Performed prone (on one's front), Swimming is often thought of as 'a prone Hundred': inhale for 5 swims and exhale for 5 swims. Perform this ten times to get to one hundred. If you're sitting at a computer or driving all day long, this exercises is the perfect antidote!
