Single Leg Lifts!

After the yummy Halloween dish I think its time for another Pilate's of the day (",)

Single Leg Lifts


Our Starting Position is:

Lie on your back with your knees bent and your heels close to your tail bone. Spine and Pelvis is in neutral closing all gaps between your spine and the mat.

Movement:

Inhale: Prepare
Exhale: Sink your ribs down and lifting your leg off the mat to table top.
Inhale: Pause
Exhale: Lower your toes down to the mat (Like dipping your toes into the water making a ripple effect :) )

Do another 8 on this leg and repeat the exact same on the other leg.

Our Focus:

Abdominals (",)

Our Aim:

To strengthen your abdominal, Increase core stability and to get used to a neutral pelvis.


Remember!!!!!

Do not arch your back
Keep neutral pelvis at all times
Keep your knees bent in the same angle
