We have arrived at the last few days of March and with that we're wrapping up the matness. Exercise 32 and 33 are hard, so feel free to modify! You can also challenge yourself and try the whole series of 34 exercises - I found a handy image to help with that. It sounds like you've been having a lot of fun getting to know them, so maybe decide on what exercises you want to incorporate into your movement routine(s) going forward.

As a reminder, the summary post from last year can be found here and the individual exercise posts contain options for modifications (in a slightly edited version since, of course, a link had to be broken...): healthunlocked.com/strength...

And now 🥁 to the important stuff: This week's exercises ⤵
I think the most important thing with control balance is to avoid resting on your neck! So, if you can shake your head, you're doing it right and the weight is on your shoulders.
Push up omg very hard I didn't go down as low as her... The four was more a six... Bend to the ground was tips of fingers even with leg bend so no lock in place... I really liked both of these... Thank you for the March Matness and all the links... Thank you for the time you took to put it together.. Thank you 💕
I found something to help us with the push up, Wine ! I was reading another article on RW and came across this: runnersworld.com/training/a...
They suggest starting with wall push-ups, then incline (on a box), and finally knees on the ground. Also, make sure to use your core! I actually imagine that I am being pulled up by a belt around my waist, which seems to help me engage it.
How did I miss this?!? The Pilates teacher who came up with the Matness, Benjamin Degenhardt, has been posting all month long! He kinda skipped last year, so I didn't even check... If you're on Instagram, you can see his posts here: instagram.com/benjamindegen...
