Today’s exercise is a little bit harder, so please be careful while attempting it. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure to show you some exercises that are a bit easier in the coming days, but also harder ones too, so watch out! 😂 L’exercice d’aujourd’hui est un peu plus difficile à réaliser donc soyez prudents en l’essayant. Ne vous inquiétez pas, je vais vous en proposer des plus faciles au cours des prochains jours… Mais aussi certains qui seront encore plus dures donc, soyez prêts! 😂 5 X 30sec Use the wall if needed. Try to stay as straight as you can and hold the position for 30 seconds. Tag me & #TrainHomeWithGSP when you share your videos! 5 X 30sec Appuyez-vous contre le mur au besoin. Essayez de rester le plus droit possible et tenez la position pendant 30 secondes. Taguez-moi & #TrainHomeWithGSP quand vous partagez vos vidéos! La musique de @koba_lad a aidé pour mon équilibre 😉
