Pilates Exercise of the day!

Open Leg Rocker

This one is a fun and challenging one to do so definitely try it out (",)

Starting Position:

Sit on the mat holding onto your ankles and extend both legs up into the air separated making a V-shape. If you cant hold onto your ankles and keep your back straight you can lower your hands down your calves.

Movement:

Inhale: Roll your back to a nice round shape and roll back.
Exhale: Roll back to your starting position straightening your spine.

Focus:

Abdominals
Hamstrings

Aim:

Spinal mobility
Hamstring flexibility
Core strength


Remember:

Don't roll onto your neck...just onto your shoulders.
Keep your arms and legs straight at all times. As your hamstring become more flexible the easier it will be to hold onto your ankles.
