Acknowledgment
Congratulations on getting this far! It's really amazing that you guys have been pushing through to the very end of the 30-day challenge.
Today's Exercise: Straw Exercise
Today, we're going to kick it off with the straw exercise, and we're going to incorporate some head movement to try to release those muscles.
What You Need:
- Your handy straw
Exercise Instructions:
- Get Moving: We're going to get your head moving with the STR exercise.
- New Scale: For this exercise, we'll be doing a new scale, a arpeggio scale, that will help you stretch and extend your range.
- Follow Along: Just follow along with me. It doesn't have to be super particular with the head movement. Just try to keep that head nice and low.
Quote: "Awesome! Refer back to the audio program of this course to follow along with the full exercise."
Let's get started!
