Let's practice our Belly Pop by drilling it and traveling side to side. So let's first start our rocking, we're going to go front and back, front and back. So as we travel, one foot is going to, the front foot is going to lead us. So we're going to take a little step and the other one's going to come to meet us and that's how we're going to travel to the side. Now let's add in our belly. Front, in, release, pull in, release, pull in. Now let's go the other way. Let's lead with the left foot. Left, right, left, right. And the belly, pull in, belly, pull in. Good. Now let's try it going side to side and we'll pick up the pace just a little bit. Left and in, press out, pop out, pop in, pop in, pop and switch. Pop in, pop in, pop in, pop in, pop in, pop and switch. Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Practice this in the mirror and make sure your shoulders are staying nice and relaxed and your chest is staying lifted, and that you're getting a nice movement right here in your belly.
