In this segment we're ready to continue on with our arm circles. Now your arms are going to get really tired. You're going to feel this in your shoulders, you should feel it all the way down through your fingertips. It's really important to lock those arms all the way out. Continue your small circles, your big circles, your backwards little circles, your backward big circles, a tight core. But then the one change in this workout rather than doing our high knees this time, we're going to be adding those kick backs that we warmed up with in the beginning. So now rather than working our quads, we're working our hamstrings. We're going to continue that hamstring workout. Kick back, you can go as fast or as slow as you'd like. Now this workout you can continue for I'll say anywhere between 2 to 4 minutes. 4 minutes is going to be very difficult. Now it seems like it's going to be nothing, you don't have nothing up here, it's just air, your arms are above water, not under the water. But just try it, have your arms up there for a good 4 minute period. Continually changing your circles bigger and smaller working different muscle groups. You should see my abs contracting all while we're doing so. It's going to be a great workout.
