P.E. with Sori
(Would you like to join Sori's exercise routine?)
(Checking the camera)
(Is this a better angle?)
(checking full-body shot)
Hi, everyone!
Sori here. "Sori not Sorry!"
Today, I'm gonna show you my usual stretching and exercise routine.
If possible,
I try to do this everyday.
However, I haven't been able to do this as often, while I had busy media schedules
I've been regularly exercising since I was little
I have since I was young,
and these are the routines I've been doing ever since, and I'd like to share them today.
First,
I'm gonna tie my hair.
(So it doesn't get in my way)
I've got a haircut so that so the excess hair flows naturally,
even after tying my hair looks pretty.
To be honest, I really don't need to tie it so nice...
I'm exercising after all...
This hair is bound to be covered with sweat...
With a fighting spirit,
I finished tying up my hair
Is this okay?
I neatly tied it up, so that it doesn't flow down.
Actually, these stretching and workout routine that I'm about to do
are a collection of things that I've learned from my coachs and seniors since I was young,
as well as the self-taught ones
that I deemed to be useful or effective for my own body,
and I'm gonna share them with you guys.
So, since I'm not a professional,
I cannot say that all of my forms are going to be perfect.
Therefore, I ask you for your understanding in advance.
Alright, since this song is coming to its end
Shall we begin?
First...
Go up!
For starters, I'm gonna begin stretching.
I'm gonna do it sitting down.
Relax your muscles as you exhale.
Tilt your head down diagonally...
My neck and shoulders are really tense,
so, when I stretch my neck
I also extend my shoulder muscles at the same time, so I can get them relaxed as much as I can.
That hurts...
Push it down, like so...
moving on to the chin...
tilt your head a bit diagonally as you look up...
Try to leave your shoulders relaxed as much as you can.
I'm starting to sweat.
my shoulders take time to ease up, so I'm gonna go for another set.
slowly rotate your head in full circle
Going clockwise
Next, shoulders...
going clockwise...
Fully stretch your shoulders
Extend your sides...
Stretch it as much as you can.
Going the other way...
Now lean forward...
place your hand on the opposite side of the floor
Now, Place one hand behind and rotate your torso.
Repeat the same for the opposite side.
Now we're moving on to arms.
Do the same for the right arm.
Stay in the same position until you can feel the burn.
moving on.
Do the same for the opposite.
Make sure to breathe.
Rotate the wrists...
keep rotating 'em...
Now put your arms up.
and then place them forward
Now that I've loosened up my neck and torso,
I'm gonna lean my upper body forward.
What I'm about to show you is something I did everyday
when I was a cheerleader in Japanese high school.
I was paired with classmates and seniors
and pushed each other's backs
I'm gonna do it on my own for now.
Now I'm gonna split my legs...
Split them as much as you can.
I'm gonna take a couple steps back.
gently rock your upper body left to right
loosen up your muscles
Now going the other way...
Make sure to flex the bottom of your feet
Your legs should be loosened up by now
Now leaning forward...
Now,
Once fully extended your legs,
push your upper body down,
including your sides.
Going to the opposite side.
By now,
your leg should be loosened up just nice
Finally, put your legs together,
Now lean your upper body forward
rotate your neck again...
It's really tense, hurts.
Like this, loosen up the muscles that are still tense,
The same thing with fingers, loosen them up.
Now, stand up,
When you looked from the side,
lift up Achilles Tendon like so...
Loosen them up just nice.
Big motions the key, like so.
Doing it the other way around.
Make sure you can feel it on your Achilles tendon.
(thud)
I can feel it right there.
My thighs...
Make sure you loosen up nice.
Warm-up's done!
Warm-up complete!
It's that easy
So, starting now the actual workout begins
I'm gonna start with "Hip-up" exercise while getting down on my hands and knees.
Round your spine upwards, then come back to neutral position
While maintaining that position,
then kick your legs up.
Now for the other leg,
Exhale.
It's not over yet.
This is for the side of hips.
Make sure to maintain 90 degree angle
Lift it up like so
Backwards and upwards!
The opposite leg
It's been a while since I've done this, so it's pretty hard.
It's far from over.
The next one is
the squatting routine that Victoria's Secret models do...
Not, squatting, when they do hip-up exercise
once you fold it close to your chest,
kick your leg up inwards and backwards, then outwards.
This exercise not only works out the side of hip with the moving leg,
but also the other side that is anchoring the body.
That's the hip workout.
Coming up next,
is something that I learned in high school for muscle strength training.
When you do these types of exercise
You don't particularly focus on a part of body such as hips like just now.
It doesn't focus on aesthetics,
but on pure strength of your muscles.
Out of those exercises,
there are a couple really good ones that are great for developing toned muscles
(Adjusting volume)
Continuing on, I learned these when I was cheer-leading
I'm gonna try to do a couple of those.
To begin with,
This exercise strengthens not only your hips, but also your abs, and your arms.
and helps you maintain balance.
It helps you with your core too.
I will demonstrate.
Is this thing on?
Is it angled too high?
It's pretty similar to the last one
but this time, raise up your leg straight without pointing upwards to the ceiling.
From this position,
lift up your right arm (opposite-side arm from the leg lifted)
lift them up in a straight line
I will do 20 reps per set alternating both sides.
Make a fist when you're pulling your arm in,
at the same time, tighten your core, and maintain your balance
then lift in a straight line
your eyes should be facing the floor
make sure your head is aligned with your spine. not up or down.
The same thing goes to your shoulders too,
neither this, this, or this is acceptable.
Make sure your head, shoulders, arms, and legs are aligned with your spine.
That'd make you less tiring.
Hold!
Alternating limbs.
If you hold suddenly, you might lose your balance.
How are we doing?
wow, that hurts.
(Thirsty)
Now...
Lie on your back,
and lift up your hips.
This is a pretty popular one, isn't it?
You can either cross your legs
or lift up one of them.
I don't think this is right.
This is my first time trying this.
Is THIS the right way?
or this?
Now loosen up your ankles
For the abs...
This is the sequence
I learned when I was in cheer-leading club,
I like it and do it to this day.
Since there is no mat on the floor, so it might be a little bit more difficult,
bring your legs (right, left, both)
closer to your upper body, like so... that's 1 rep.
So, I'm gonna do 20 of those.
oh, that hurts a little bit.
(Yoga mat summoned!)
Resuming ab workout
1, 2, 3 that's 1 rep.
This is really hard, I haven't done this in a while.
I haven't done this recently and it reeeally shows...
I'm just gonna do 10 more...
I'm gonna try this again, why is my body moving backwards? Seems like I'm doing something wrong.
I'm sorry...
I used to do this A LOT
I used to do this a lot and I can't do it all the sudden.
My body doesn't have much strength.
I'm in trouble
Why is my body acting this way?
wait...
(I-it's not supposed to be like this...)
I used to...
be able to do many reps of this...
even a couple months back...
but that's that
This sequence is actually really hard. (excuses)
the next one, I'll be able to do full 20.
I feel like I've disgraced my cheer-leading club.
I did this A LOT when I was in high school.
As you can see, I've lost all my abs, they're all gone.
(Suddenly starts counting in Japanese)
(Sighs)
Man, I'm bad
Maybe I shouldn't have started recording this?
Anyways
Ab workout, finished.
It clearly shows that I didn't work out while
Actually, I've been showing my stomach a lot,
It's not as toned as you think... I haven't been doing much of ab workouts.
I will do 'em more often.
You'll see.
Now, Let's move on to arm workouts.
I'm gonna start doing 'em now.
On this position,
Is this a proper form?
I also haven't done arms in a while...
I used to do these a lot too...
(Sighs)
(Losing her mind)
Sori's workout continues in the next episode! Don't you miss it!
