Pilates 1/7/05
Do a few stretches to warm up before you start this exercise.
The Hundred
*Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. Find the neutral position with your spine and with your arms by your side, draw the shoulders back and down. Imagine that there is an orange between your chin and chest, and try to lengthen through the back of the neck.
*As you breathe out, lift the left leg to form a right angle, checking that the knee comes directly above the hip and that the foot is in line with the knee. Imprint your lower spine firmly into the mat.
*Lift the second leg and form a right angle, allow the spine to return to the neutral position.
*Lengthen your legs diagonally toward the ceiling. Hold for five breaths, focusing on not letting the abdominal muscles dome or the lower spine come out of neutral position. On the last breath, slowly lower one leg at a time and return to the starting position.
Try to do 10 reps!
This is for the abs
