00:00Joining me right now is my new best friend in my head, fitness extraordinaire, Ms. Roz, the diva maid.
00:08Thank you. Welcome to Essence Live. I'm super excited to have you here in all of your accessories.
00:13I can't wait. From what I hear, you have a fit philosophy. What is that?
00:17Yes, my fit-losophy, I am not about diets and crazy cleanses and temporary fixes.
00:23I'm about making habits, fitness and in the kitchen that makes sense for your lifestyle
00:28and that are going to get you the best benefits possible.
00:30Okay, so I think I'm ready to take on the poles.
00:33Words my mom's always wanted to hear me say.
00:35Okay, so we're going to get on top of this bad boy. Now, I have on socks. You're barefoot.
00:39Does it matter if we're in shoes or...
00:41So I kick off those socks for right now.
00:44Once we get into our diva hood after a few lessons, we'll add the shoes on.
00:48But right now, we're going to rock barefoot.
00:50Okay, so you're going to teach me four basic steps today.
00:52Yes, so we're going to take the hand that's on the inside next to the pole,
00:56bring it up nice and high. Like a swollen chocolate.
00:58Exactly. Yes, the best kind.
01:00And then you're going to take this shoulder and you're going to push it down
01:03so your back stays nice and strong.
01:05Oh, wow, okay.
01:06Come up onto those toes and pull out those hips.
01:09And give me a stretch.
01:11This is all I can do.
01:12Oh, yes. And then we got to switch hands.
01:14Ow.
01:15Ooh, that was a sink with me.
01:18Roz, we're like BFF now, you know this.
01:20We've got to be.
01:21Okay.
01:22So now I come to the other side. I take my outside arm, bring it on top.
01:26And is this step number two?
01:27Yes, step number two.
01:29Okay.
01:30Now we're going to take that leg that's near the pole, take a lifted step up and over.
01:34Yes.
01:35Victory roll.
01:37Oh, that is step number three.
01:40I feel like we've all done this one once or twice in college.
01:43So step number three should be pretty familiar to most of you essence live.
01:48All right, what's my next step?
01:50Okay.
01:51Let's take those hands, bring them about chin height.
01:52Okay.
01:53We're going to stick that booty all the way out.
01:55Mm-hmm.
01:56And we're going to lift the hips up just to the right.
01:58Okay.
01:59And we're going to easy peasy.
02:00Woo!
02:01Lean down.
02:02Yes!
02:03Fantastic.
02:04Okay.
02:05Now, let's bring those legs up and over to the other side.
02:09That part I can do.
02:10Beautiful.
02:11Facing this pole.
02:13Okay.
02:14Come up with one leg.
02:15Next leg.
02:16Okay.
02:17There are the soups.
02:18There are the soups.
02:19Or in my case, the gumbo.
02:20We stir the gumbo.
02:21Ooh, yes.
02:22Gumbo all the way out.
02:23Hey.
02:24Yes!
02:25And then we do it again.
02:26Okay.
02:27So this is going to be our introductory routine.
02:30Absolutely.
02:31Because mother is not quite there yet.
02:33Okay.
02:34So let's try it again.
02:35Let's try it again.
02:36Awesome.
02:37So inside arm comes all the way up.
02:40We're up.
02:41Shoulder pushes down.
02:42Come up onto those toes.
02:44Pull those hips out.
02:45And give me a stretch.
02:47All the way around.
02:49So we're working our attitude and our bodies, people.
02:52Oh, yes.
02:53And those hips too.
02:54And we come to the other side of the pole.
02:58Okay.
02:59Bring your outside arm up and over.
03:02Take that leg that's near the pole.
03:04Lift it.
03:05Step.
03:06Beautiful.
03:07And chest.
03:08Belly.
03:09Woo-hoo.
03:10Oh, wait, wait.
03:11I have to get work on my pop.
03:12Yeah.
03:13Just one time.
03:14Just like.
03:15I'm not a good popper.
03:17Yeah, it's like you've got to get the spatula under the bacon and just boom.
03:21Just one time.
03:22Is that, now, is that turkey bacon?
03:23Or is it?
03:24It can be if you need it to.
03:25Okay, we'll find out.
03:26Mm-hmm.
03:27And we stick that booty all the way out here.
03:28Lift those hips up to the right and just swirl it down.
03:32Now, Roz, what do you do when your hands start to get sweaty?
03:34When your hands start to get sweaty, you just slowly one time.
03:39There's also, there are a number of grip aids.
03:44Okay.
03:45Help combat sweaty skin.
03:47Okay.
03:48I may have to grip my aid.
03:50I think so, too.
03:51And when I stir my gumbo, we'll grip the aid.
03:54We'll stir the gumbo.
03:55Oh, yeah.
03:56Oh, yeah.
03:57Yes.
03:58Thank you so much.
