Pilates exercise for today is the shoulder bridge!

Lets see how it is done (",)


Starting Postion:

Lie on your back with your knees bent and your heels close to your tailbone with your arms extended down by your sides.

Movement:

Inhale: Prepare
Exhale: Pelvic curl up forming a nice bridge
Inhale: Lift your right foot of the mat and take your leg up to 90 degrees keeping your toes pointed.
Exhale: Lower your extended leg down to the same level as your left knee keeping it straight and your toes pointed.
Inhale: Flex your foot and take it up to 90 degrees.

After 8 on your right leg place your foot back on the ground, restabalise your pelvic curl and do the exact same on the other leg. Once this is easy extend your leg all the way to the ground instead of just to your bent knees height.
