MUSIC GOOD MORNING EVERYBODY,
AND WELCOME TO THE BALANCING ACT.
WE'RE SO GLAD YOU JOINED US.
I'M JULIE MORAN.
AND I'M OLGA VILLAVERDE, AND WILLKOMMEN
AND BIENVENUE (LAUGHTER).
(SINGING) WILLKOMMEN AND BIENVENUE.
WELL, YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE THAT LINE.
(SINGING) WILLKOMMEN IT'S GERMAN.
OK, WELL I'M NOT SPEAKING GERMAN AND
FRENCH.
I'M SPEAKING KIT KAT, AS IN THE KIT KAT KLUB.
AND THAT CAN ONLY MEAN ONE THING.
WE ARE HITTING THE STAGE ONCE AGAIN.
OUR BROADWAY BALANCES AMERICA SERIES IS BACK, AND THE
INVITATION IS OUT.
SO COME TO THE CABARET!
BOY, SHE SHOULD REALLY JUST BE PART OF THAT
SHOW.
ENTER STAGE RIGHT, HERE'S JULIE MORAN!!
HELLO!
THE BALANCING ACT STARTS RIGHT NOW.
MUSIC BROADWAY BALANCES
AMERICA BROUGHT TO YOU BY BROADWAY ACROSS AMERICA.
BRINGING THE BEST OF BROADWAY TO A CITY NEAR YOU.
CABARET IS THE BROADWAY SMASH THAT FIRST HIT
THE STAGE BACK IN 1966.
IT'S SET IN EARLY 1930'S BERLIN, RIGHT
BEFORE THE SECOND WORLD WAR.
THAT'S RIGHT, BUT AS YOU'RE ABOUT TO FIND OUT, THIS
MASTERFUL MUSICAL MANAGES TO MAKE LIGHT OUT OF A VERY DARK
TIME IN HISTORY.
THE DARK TWIST AND SULTRY TURNS OF CABARET HAVE
BEEN SO SUCCESSFUL THAT IT'S BEEN STAGED MULTIPLE TIMES.
AND OVER THE DECADES MEGAWATT STARS,
INCLUDING JOEL GRAY, BROOKE SHIELDS, AND EVEN DAME JUDI
DENCH - LOVE HER - HAVE ALL PLAYED KEY CHARACTERS.
SO YOU'RE ABOUT TO MEET THE LATEST CAST OF
QUADRUPLE THREATS.
YOU HEARD IT - QUADRUPLE THREATS.
THAT'S SINGING, DANCING, ACTING, AND
PLAYING AN INSTRUMENT.
ANYTHING ELSE AND WE WOULD RUN OUT OF
FINGERS.
WHAT TALENT!
OUR OWN AMBER MILT IS WAITING.
SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, COME TO THE
CABARET!
(MUSIC PLAYING WHILE DANCING) THAT'S RIGHT LADIES.
THESE MULTI TALENTED ACTORS ARE PART OF THE ROUNDABOUT THEATRE
COMPANY'S 50TH ANNIVERSARY SEASON, WHICH INCLUDES THE
NATIONAL TOUR OF THE TONY AWARD WINNING MUSICAL, CABARET.
REHEARSAL IS IN FULL SWING AS THE PERFORMERS GET FINAL NOTES
FROM CHOREOGRAPHER, CYNTHIA ONRUBIA.
BEING PART OF THE KIT KAT KLUB ENSEMBLE MEANS THEY
MUST BE ABLE TO SING, DANCE, ACT, AND PLAY A MUSICAL
INSTRUMENT.
YOU WANT DIVERSITY, BUT IT ALL HAS TO COME TOGETHER
MUSICALLY.
I WANNA KEEP A CERTAIN STANDARD OF THE SHOW
CAUSE ONCE YOU SET THE TONE, AND ESPECIALLY ME, I WON'T SETTLE
FOR, YOU KNOW, ANYTHING LESS.
THE NUMBERS ARE HUGELY IMPORTANT TO THE SHOW.
PARTLY BECAUSE THEY DRIVE THE SHOW IN TERMS OF ITS
MUSICAL CONTENT.
WE BEGIN IN A CLUB.
THE THE CLUB NUMBERS INTERSECT WITH THE SCENES.
THEY PROPEL THE THEMES OF THE SHOW.
THE ABRASION BETWEEN THE SCENES, WHICH FIRE IN, AND THE SONGS
THAT FIRE OUT, THAT GIVE THE SHOW ITS UNIQUE ENERGY.
THE STORY, WHICH FIRST DEBUT ON
BROADWAY 50 YEARS AGO, TAKES AUDIENCES INTO THE SEDUCTIVE KIT
KAT KLUB DURING PRE-WORLD WAR II GERMANY.
BERLIN IS THRIVING BUT EVERYTHING IS ABOUT TO CHANGE.
IT'S WHAT HAPPENS TO SALLY BOWLES, WHO'S A CHANTEUSE, AND
CLIFF BRADSHAW, AN AMERICAN WRITER, AND THEIR ROMANCE.
AND HOW HISTORY INTERSECTS WITH THAT
ROMANCE.
THEIR ROMANCE AND ALSO THE ROMANCE OF AN OLDER COUPLE,
VON SCHNEIDER AND HERR SCHULTZ.
AND OF COURSE, BECAUSE THERE'S A CHARACTER OF THE EMCEE, WHICH IS
MAYBE PERHAPS THE MOST FAMOUS CHARACTER IN THE SHOW, AND HE
COMES IN THROUGHOUT THE EVENING AND DOES FANTASTIC NUMBERS THAT
ILLUMINATE AND EXPAND UPON THE THEMES THAT YOU DISCOVER IN THE
SCENES.
IT TAKES A REALLY REALLY TOUGH SITUATION IN HISTORY AND
ADDS LIGHT TO IT.
FROM THE CHARACTERS FROM WHAT THEY'RE
GOING THROUGH.
THE DANCING IS PRETTY SURREAL.
THE WAY THAT THE STORY'S TOLD IS IS SO INNOVATIVE
AND SO TIMELESS TO ALL THE AUDIENCES THAT GET TO SEE IT.
THIS SAM MENDES, ROB MARSHALL PRODUCTION FEATURES THE MUSIC OF
KANDER AND EBB, THE TEAM BEHIND CHICAGO.
AND IT ALL STARTS WITH CASTING.
KIT KAT BOYS AND GIRLS ARE ALSO THE ORCHESTRA.
THERE'S THAT EXTRA ELEMENT OF
MUSICIANSHIP THAT COMES INTO PLAY.
IT'S FINDING THE PEOPLE WHO CAN ALSO WAIL ON A
SAXOPHONE, AND SING AND DANCE AND ACT.
THAT IS WHERE IT BECOMES TRICKY.
AS A QUADRUPLE THREAT, DANI SPIELER, WHO PLAYS
LULU, CAN DEFINITELY WAIL ON THE SAXOPHONE.
BEING PART OF THE SHOW IS A DREAM COME TRUE.
WE STARTED WORKING ON WILLKOMMEN,
AND DON'T TELL MOMMA.
THESE ARE ICONIC NUMBERS THAT I HAVE, YOU
KNOW, SANG IN MY BEDROOM SINCE I WAS A LITTLE GIRL.
SO TO ACTUALLY BE LEARNING THAT SAME
CHOREOGRAPHY AND THAT SAME PRODUCTION THAT I WAS SO EXCITED
TO SEE.
I CAN'T EVEN PUT IT TO WORDS.
IT'S SO, YOU KNOW, JUST DOING THOSE MOVES IT IMMEDIATELY
FEELS LIKE WOW, THIS IS SO EXCITING.
PREPARATION IS KEY.
IT'S JUST MAKING SURE TO WARM UP EVERY PART OF YOUR SHOW.
YOU HAVE TO WARM UP YOUR INSTRUMENT,
YOU HAVE TO WARM UP YOUR VOICE, YOU HAVE TO WARM UP YOUR BODY.
AND THEN AT THE END OF THE SHOW YOU HAVE TO COOL IT ALL DOWN AS
WELL.
PLAYING THE CHARACTER OF HELGA, THIS MARKS SARAH BISHOP'S
TOURING DEBUT.
THERE'S A LOT OF ANTICIPATION.
I'M JUST EXCITED TO GET STARTED BECAUSE, YOU
KNOW, I'VE DREAMED ABOUT DOING THIS FOR A LONG TIME.
AND IT JUST HAPPENS TO INCORPORATE ALL
THESE LIKE AWKWARD, WIERD, TALENTS, I JUST HAPPEN TO HAVE.
LIKE HOW MANY GIRLS PLAY THE TRUMPET?
IT WAS SUCH A PERFECT FIT FOR WHAT I WANTED TO DO AS
AN ACTOR AND WHAT THE SHOW HAS TO OFFER, AND BEING ON TOUR I
THINK IT'S A GOOD TIME FOR ME TO LIKE BE TRAVELING AND EXPLORING
AT A RELATIVELY YOUNG AGE.
LORI EURE IS MORE FAMILIAR WITH THE
TERRITORY.
SHE WAS PART OF THE SHOW'S REVIVAL IN 1998 AND THE
FIRST NATIONAL TOUR OF CABARET.
I'M STILL EXCITED TO BE A PART OF THIS SHOW, 15 YEARS LATER IN
MY CAREER.
BUT I FEEL LIKE I HAVE SO MUCH MORE TO OFFER FOR
MY CHARACTERS NOW.
I'VE LIVED LONGER, AND I'VE HAD MORE LIFE
EXPERIENCES.
WHETHER THEY'RE GOOD OR BAD, THAT THEY CAN ALL
ADD TO MAKE A STRONGER PRESENCE ON STAGE AND ADD MORE LAYERS TO
THE CHARACTER I'M PLAYING.
MAKING SURE THE CHARACTERS ARE CLOTHED, AT LEAST PARTIALLY, IS
6 TIME TONY AWARD WINNER, WILLIAM IVEY LONG, WHO IS ONCE
AGAIN CREATING THE FABULOUS FASHIONS.
THIS NEEDS TO HUG THE BUTT, LIKE THAT.
ONE OF THE EMCEE'S LINES IS "EVERY NIGHT WE
HAVE TO FIGHT WITH THE GIRLS TO KEEP THEM FROM TAKING OFF THEIR
CLOTHES.
TONIGHT WE MIGHT LOSE THE BATTLE."
SO SPECIFICALLY, I TOOK THAT AS MY MISSION.
SO MY JOB IS TO MAKE SURE THE LADIES
CAN GIVE THAT IMPRESSION THAT THESE CLOTHES ARE JUST GONNA
FALL OFF THEM.
YOU HAVE 2 BRAS ON, AND 3 PANTIES?
WHILE SUPPORTING THEM IN ALL THE
CHOREOGRAPHY AND EVERYTHING THEY'RE DOING.
THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF YOU CAN THINK YOU'RE
JUST SO SMART AND YOU DO A SKETCH BASED ON A REFERENCE.
THEN YOU GET THE LIVE PERSON IN THE ROOM AND IT DOESN'T LOOK
GOOD AT ALL, SO YOU CHANGE IT.
YOU CAN LEARN THE COMBINATION ALL DAY LONG IN THE SUIT, AND
ONCE YOU PUT THE COSTUME IT ADDS A WHOLE LOT OF METAL OF
INTENSITY TO YOUR CHARACTER.
WEARING THOSE REVEALING COSTUMES MEANS STAYING IN TOP PHYSICAL
SHAPE IS CRITICAL.
HI, HOW ARE YOU DOING?
FINE, HOW ARE YOU.
PULL YOUR SHOULDER BLADES TOGETHER.
ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING.
KEEP TENSION ON THE BANDS THE WHOLE TIME.
PREPARE US FOR OUR SHOW TONIGHT, NOT DESTROY US.
WE'LL DO ABOUT 5 MORE SECONDS OF THIS, NICE AND
EASY.
SO AS YOU DANCERS WILL NOTICE, I CAN GO TRY TO IN
OPPOSITION.
BUT TO BALANCE THAT, SO IS HAVING A LIFE OUTSIDE THE
THEATER.
PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONAL BALANCE, ESPECIALLY AS
AN ACTOR, IS NECESSARY.
I'M RECENTLY ENGAGED SO FOR ME BEING
ON TOUR, IT'S GONNA BE A MATTER OF STAYING IN TOUCH.
MY FIANCE IS GONNA BE FLYING OUT A TON.
I'M A PRESCHOOL TEACHER WHEN I'M NOT DOING A SHOW.
SO IT'S ALL ABOUT FINDING LITTLE THINGS THAT
GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF HAPPINESS, A LITTLE BIT OF JOY,
IN YOUR DAY-TO-DAY, WHEN YOU'RE NOT ON A GIG.
SO HERE AT CABARET EVERYBODY IS SO MULTI-TALENTED
BUT I WANTED TO GET IN ON THE FUN.
READY GUYS?!
LET'S TAKE IT AWAY!
HAPPILY, THE NATIONAL TOUR IS NOW GETTING UNDERWAY.
YOU WANT THEM TO TAKE AWAY, WHAT IT
HAS ALWAYS BEEN AT THE HEART OF THE SHOW, WHICH IS THAT IT'S
EXCITING, IT'S MEMORABLE, IT'S MUSICALLY THRILLING.
THE NUMBERS ARE FANTASTIC, THE CHARACTERS
ARE MEMORABLE.
BUT ALSO, THAT IT'S CHALLENGING.
IT MAKES US THINK.
IT MOVES US AND I THINK I CAN SAY THAT THIS PRODUCTION, IN
PARTICULAR, DOES THAT PROBABLY BETTER THAN ANY OTHER, I THINK.
YOU COME OUT, MAYBE WITH A FEW TEARS, BUT ARE LIKE, THIS IS WHY
I JUST BOUGHT A TICKET TO THIS.
THIS IS WHAT THEATER IS, AND THIS IS WHY WE COME TO THE
THEATER, AND THAT'S WHAT I WANT PEOPLE TO WALK OUT AND FEEL.
THE NORTH AMERICAN TOUR OF CABARET
IS HEADING SOON TO A THEATER NEAR YOU.
CHECK OUT BROADWAY BALANCES AMERICA, BROADWAY
ACROSS AMERICA, OR YOU CAN GO TO OUR WEBSITE, THEBALANCINGACT.COM
FOR ALL THE SHOW INFORMATION, TOUR DATES, AND MORE.
BRAVO, I AM SO AMAZED BY THE MULTIPLE
TALENTS THAT THESE PERFORMERS HAVE AND TO BE ABLE TO DELIVER
IT NIGHT AFTER NIGHT.
I MEAN IT'S TRULY AMAZING.
I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY DO IT.
IT'S TRULY SPECIAL.
NOW HERE'S TO BEING A QUADRUPLE THREAT.
WHICH ONE OF THE SKILLS WOULD YOU SAY YOU'RE
BEST OF?
YOU HAVE SINGING, DANCING, ACTING AND PLAYING AN
INSTRUMENT.
CHOOSE ONE.
ACTING.
(LAUGHTER) OK, I WOULD HAVE TO SAY NOTHING.
PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS SHOCKED TO HEAR, BY THE WAY, HOW
WELL GLENN CLOSE AND SARAH JESSICA PARKER AND CATHERINE
ZETA-JONES CAN SING AND DANCE.
BUT REALITY IS THAT'S WHAT HOLLYWOOD HAS BEEN ABOUT.
THAT'S RIGHT AND I THINK THE MOST WELL
KNOWN CABARET PERFORMANCE OF ALL IS ONE BY THE GREAT LIZA
MINNELLI IN 1972 THAT WON HER AN ACADEMY AWARD.
SHE IS JUST UNBELIEVABLE.
SO THAT IS YOUR BROADWAY EDUCATION LESSON FOR
TODAY FOLKS AND COMING UP AN EDUCATION OF A DIFFERENT KIND.
DON'T GO ANYWHERE.
MUSIC BY NOW, WE ALL KNOW ADULT ONLINE
EDUCATION IS A TREND THAT'S HERE TO STAY.
BUT GUESS WHAT?
THANKS TO LEADING EDUCATORS WITH AN EYE
ON THE EVOLVING NEEDS OF TODAY'S ADULT STUDENTS IT'S ALSO A TREND
THAT KEEPS GETTING MORE IMPORTANT EVERY DAY.
SO HERE WITH AN UPDATE ON WHAT'S
TRENDING IN ONLINE DEGREE PROGRAMS IS KIMBREA BROWNING,
AND DR.
NELSON SOTO FROM UNION INSTITUTE & UNIVERSITY.
GOOD MORNING.
THANKS FOR BEING HERE.
THANKS SO MUCH.
SO KIMBREA, LET ME START WITH YOU.
YOU ARE, YOUR SPECIALITY IS ENROLLMENT SO WHAT
IS TODAY'S ADULT STUDENT LOOK LIKE.
IT'S VERY INTERESTING, THE TRENDS THAT ARE HAPPENING IN THE
ADULT LEARNER DEMOGRAPHIC RIGHT NOW.
70% OF THE NON-TRADITIONAL STUDENT IS THE WORKING ADULT
STUDENT THAT'S WORKING FULL TIME, PART TIME.
OF THAT GROUP, 60% ARE WOMEN.
THE AVERAGE AGE OF A UNION STUDENT IS 39.
39, SO WHAT ARE SOME OF THE REASONS
THAT SAY, FOR SOMEONE, AN ADULT STUDENT, AND I'M GONNA USE
MYSELF FOR EXAMPLE.
I'VE THOUGHT OF GETTING ONLINE AND GETTING MY
MASTERS ONE DAY.
WHAT IS DRIVING THOSE PEOPLE TO DO IT?
IT REALLY DEPENDS ON WHERE THAT INDIVIDUAL
IS IN THE SEASON OF THEIR LIFE.
OK.
SO YOU HAVE THE WORKING ADULT STUDENT THAT IS CURRENTLY
IN A JOB AND THEY'RE LOOKING TO MOVE UP OR TRANSITION TO ANOTHER
DEPARTMENT OR JUST GROW IN SOME WAY, AND A DEGREE IS NECESSARY.
THEN YOU ALSO HAVE THE ADULT STUDENT THAT IS LOOKING TO
CHANGE THEIR CAREER ENTIRELY.
SO GO IN AN OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF
WHERE THEY ARE NOW AND REALLY BRUSHING UP ON THE SKILL SETS
THAT THEY HAVE ARE IMPORTANT SO THEY WANNA EARN THEIR DEGREE FOR
THAT REASON.
AND THEN YOU JUST HAVE THE WORKING ADULT WHO HAS
ALWAYS DREAMED OF EARNING THEIR DEGREE OR THEIR DOCTORATE.
THAT WOULD BE ME.
EXACTLY.
I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO GET ONE.
I MEAN THEIR DOCTORAL DEGREE OR MASTERS
DEGREE AND IT'S BEEN LINGERING AND BURNING INSIDE THEM AND THEY
JUST WANTED TO DO IT.
AND THERE'S SOMEONE LIKE ME, FOR
EXAMPLE, OUT THERE AS WELL, WITH THE SAME REASON.
I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO DO IT AND MAYBE ONE
DAY BE A PROFESSOR.
BECAUSE I'VE DONE TV FOR A LONG TIME AND I
THINK I HAVE SOME VALUE TO GIVE.
HOW DO YOU HELP SOMEONE LIKE ME, OR SOMEONE OUT THERE THAT HAS
THAT INTIMIDATION FACTOR?
I THINK THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.
PART OF WHAT WE FOCUS ON IS THE INDIVIDUAL THEMSELF.
WITH THE ROLE OF ONLINE LEARNING AND THE
TYPE OF FACULTY THAT WE HAVE, WE HAVE FACULTY MEMBERS WHO HAVE
PROBABLY WALKED IN THEIR SHOES.
THESE ARE INDIVIDUALS THAT WORKED IN THE PROFESSION AND NOW
ARE GIVING BACK.
SO OUR FACULTY MEMBERS ARE NORMALLY, WE CALL
THEM SCHOLAR PRACTITIONERS.
INDIVIDUALS THAT WILL SIT WITH YOU ONE ON ONE.
THAT WILL CALL YOU, THAT WILL SKYPE WITH YOU,
DO WHATEVER THEY CAN TO DEVELOP THAT SOCIAL PRESENCE TO LESSEN
THAT FEAR FACTOR.
WE'RE AN INSTITUTION THAT PURPOSELY WE
WANNA BE A SMALL INSTITUTION SO WE CAN HAVE A PERSONAL
RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU.
AND IS THERE A TREND IN TERMS OF
DEGREES THAT ADULTS ARE GOING FOR TODAY?
THERE IS.
WE SEE A LOT MORE ADULTS GOING TOWARDS
OUR MASTERS OF SCIENCE AND ORGANIZATIONAL LEADERSHIP.
THEY WANNA CONTINUE TO BE LEADERS IN
THEIR ORGANIZATIONS AND THEY WANNA LOOK AT DIFFERENT WAYS OF
TRYING TO FIX PROBLEMS AND THEY ARE SOLUTION PROVIDERS, AND THIS
MASTERS WILL ALLOW THEM TO JUST THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX.
AND KIMBREA, LET'S NOW TALK ABOUT
MAYBE SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T WANNA GET THE MASTERS, SOMEONE WHO
WANTS TO COMPLETELY CHANGE THEIR CAREER.
WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE THEM TO GIVE THEM THAT, YOU
KNOW, TO STEER THEM IN THAT DIRECTION?
WELL, AS ENROLLMENT SPECIALIST, ONE OF THE THINGS
THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT FOR US IS TO BUILD A PARTNERSHIP IN A
RELATIONSHIP.
ASK A LOT OF KEY QUESTIONS ABOUT WHY DO YOU WANNA
DO THIS AND WHERE DO YOU WANNA GO, AND HOW WE CAN FILL THE GAP
AREA.
DO YOU NEED TO BUILD UPON SKILLS THAT YOU DON'T HAVE?
DO YOU JUST NEED TO ENHANCE THE
SKILLS THAT HAVE RIGHT NOW?
IT REALLY DEPENDS ON, AGAIN, WHERE
THE STUDENT IS IN THEIR LIFE AND WHAT IS REALLY MOTIVATING THEM
TO WANNA DO THIS.
AND AGAIN, JUST TO UNDERSTAND THAT THEY CAN
DO THIS AND THIS CAN WORK FOR THEM.
AND DOCTOR, WHEN IT COMES TO TECHNOLOGY, HOW DOES YOUR
ONLINE PROGRAM HELP BRIDGE THAT GAP OF, WHAT I CALL
COMMUNICATION?
SINCE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT COMMUNICATION AND
GETTING A DEGREE IN COMMUNICATION FOR ME.
BUT I THINK LIKE BACK THEN I HAD MY
TEACHER THERE.
THIS IS ONLINE.
DO STILL GET THAT ONE ON ONE, IF I HAVE QUESTIONS, IF I HAVE
DOUBTS.
DO I FEEL LIKE YOU'RE THERE FOR ME?
YES.
WE HAVE THAT SOCIAL PRESENCE.
SO WE'RE STILL USING THE TELEPHONE.
THINK ABOUT HOW YOU'RE CONNECTING WITH
THE VISUALS AROUND THE WORLD WITH FACEBOOK.
WE DO THE SAME THING WITH OUR LEARNING
MANAGEMENT PLATFORM.
SO WE HAVE THAT PERSONAL SOCIAL CONNECTION
WITH YOU, NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE.
YOU COULD BE WORKING AT YOUR KITCHEN TABLE OR TAKING A
BREAK FROM YOUR JOB.
WE WILL CONNECT WITH YOU AND YOU'LL HAVE
A GROUP OF COHORTS, COLLEAGUES, TO WORK WITH YOU AS YOU CONTINUE
YOUR JOURNEY IN PURSUING YOUR DEGREE.
SO THE SUPPORT IS THERE.
DEFINITELY.
KIMBREA, I KNOW YOU HAVE A LOT OF SUCCESS STORIES
WITH THIS PROGRAM?
THAT'S CORRECT.
WE HAVE MORE THAN 15,000 ALUMNI.
OUR UNION GRADUATES ARE SERVING IN THE
PUBLIC, PRIVATE, NON-PROFIT SECTORS.
A MEMBER OF THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS, AND THE FIRST
FEMALE PRIME MINISTER OF JAMAICA.
AND MAYBE OLGA VILLAVERDE WILL BE ON THAT LIST
TOO.
ABSOLUTELY, WHY NOT?
THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!
I REALLY WANNA DO IT.
ONE DAY I WILL, I PROMISE.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.
FOR INFORMATION ON THE ONLINE PROGRAM WHERE CAN OUR
VIEWERS GO?
MYUNION.EDU.
I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE IN FRONT OF A CLASSROOM
TEACHING STUDENTS ONE DAY.
THAT'S MY DREAM.
DOCTOR, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.
THANK YOU.
I APPRECIATE IT.
COME BACK ANYTIME.
THANK YOU.

MUSIC I'M NOT A MOM MYSELF BUT I'M A
VERY PROUD AUNT OF A BEAUTIFUL NIECE
AND EVERY TIME SHE COMES TO VISIT ME SHE INSISTS UPON GOING
TO THE PARK.
SO I'M GONNA SHOW YOU HOW TO GET YOUR WORKOUT IN
WHILE YOUR CHILD PLAYS.
WHAT'S GREAT ABOUT THIS WORKOUT IS MOST
PARKS HAVE A SWING AND EVERYTHING WE'RE GONNA DO TODAY
REVOLVES A SWING.
FIRST THING YOU WANNA DO IS GET YOUR BODY
WARM.
SO WE'RE GONNA TAKE THE CHAINS OF THE SWING, SQUAT DOWN
AND THEN YOU JUMP STRAIGHT UP, LANDING SOFTLY ON THE BALLS OF
YOUR FEET AND THEN ROCKING BACK ON YOUR HEELS.
YOUR MODIFICATION IS TO NEVER LEAVE THE GROUND, SO
JUST COMING UP ON YOUR TOES.
REGARDLESS, COMING UP IN THIS RANGE OF MOTION WILL GET YOUR
HEART RATE UP, WHICH IS WHAT WE WANNA DO.
NOW, I PERSONALLY LOVE A GOOD PUSHUP.
I KNOW I'M WIERD.
CAREFULLY PLACE ONE FOOT IN THE SWING, AT A TIME.
ENGAGE YOUR CORE, MAKE SURE YOUR BACK IS
FLAT, AND WE COME STRAIGHT DOWN FOR A JUST A STANDARD PUSHUP.
IF YOU CAN'T DO IT ON THE SWING -
NO BIG DEAL.
YOU CAN DO IT OFF THE SWING, OR SIMPLY COME DOWN
TO YOUR KNEES.
NOW IT'S ON TO WORK OUR LEGS.
STEP BACK WITH ONE FOOT - NOW WHAT I LIKE TO DO
IS BRING MY HANDS UP, THAT CAUSES ME TO NOT MOVE FORWARD,
WHICH IS REALLY IMPORTANT IN LUNGES.
SO WE'RE COMING STRAIGHT DOWN, STRAIGHT UP.
I'M ENGAGING MY CORE THE ENTIRE TIME.
AGAIN, THIS IS ANOTHER MOVE THAT CAN BE
DONE WITH OR WITHOUT THE SWING.
AND THE LAST THING WE WANNA FOCUS ON IS OUR CORE.
I ACTUALLY FOUND DOING THESE EXERCISES,
THAT MY CORE WAS WORKED MORE WHEN I CAME DOWN TO THE LOW
POINT.
SO HERE, JUST SIMPLE TUCKS, AND THE ENTIRE TIME I'M
PULLING MY CORE AWAY FROM MY TEESHIRT SO MY BACK IS FLAT.
NEXT EXERCISE FOR OUR ABS IS A PIK.
SO WE'RE BRINGING OUR BODY STRAIGHT UP AND BACK DOWN.
SO NOW WE'LL HIT OUR OBLIQUES.
BRINGING IT TO A TWIST TO THE LEFT, A TWIST TO THE RIGHT.
SO WE MADE IT THROUGH OUR FIRST
CIRCUIT BUT LET'S DO IT 2 MORE TIMES, 15 REPS EACH EXERCISE.
FOR MORE WORKOUT TIPS VISIT THEBALANCINGACT.COM.
(MUSIC) WELL, THAT'S OUR SHOW FOR TODAY.
WE HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT MORNING AND GREAT DAY.
AND IF YOU WANT MORE INFORMATION
JUST GO TO OUR WEBSITE THEBALANCINGACT.COM, AND DON'T
FORGET TO FOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK AND TWITTER.
WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT TIME.
SO LONG EVERYBODY.
