Clear the Clouds: Standing Twists and Overhead Chops Brain Break

What the coach says

The words of this video, from its captions.

Now, let's clear the clouds. Imagine your feet are stuck in heavy cement. Glue them to the floor, they cannot move. Clasp your hands tight together like you're holding a heavy lightning bolt. First, we twist. We only move our belly button, not our feet. 10 times, side to side. Ready, go. One. two twist your belly button three four just like swinging a baseball bat six seven keep your feet glued nine ten now up and down we are going to spread our legs wide like we did for our thunder stomps we are going to reach high and top the rain down high to the sky 10 times. Chop. Up. Chop. Use your tummy muscles. You are stronger than the storm. We're on 4, 5. Fast hands. 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. Clouds are gone.
