Donna Wilkinson: This one is going to incorporate some upper body, some lower body, some hamstring stretches and definitely flexibility. This one we are going to do on the ground. Couple variations we can do, I will show too.

What we want to do is start out, nice pushup position, body nice and straight, you are going to walk your toes up to your hands, all the way up if you can. Once you are there, you want to walk all the way up. Once your body is flat, walk your toes back up. Nice small steps get all the way up, walk yourself back out to flat. Really feel the stretch in your hamstrings, your lower back, walking back up.

Now, the variation I like is when you get out to here, you do a pushup. Nice pushup, walk yourself back up, walk it out, give me a pushup, walk it up, back out. Building core strength, building flexibility, working your upper body and finish off with that nice pushup.

So, a great way, really getting that flexibility in your lower back and your hamstrings, and starting to work that upper body a little bit, getting ready to go into last segment.
