Pilates Exercise of the day!

I ha vent posted for sooooo long :( as December came along I got super busy and now that I have finally started slowing down I will post more.

Rolling like a ball

Some love it and some hate it :D

Muscle Focus:
Abdominals (yay)

Objectives:
Release our lower back muscles and deepen the abdominal work.
Improve trunk stabilisation

Starting Position:
Sit on the mat with your knees pulled in and hold onto each ankle

Exhale: Draw your spine into a C-curve and slightly lean back so you are balancing on your sit bones
Inhale: Roll back rounding your lower back and onto your shoulder griddle but no further than shoulders.
Exhale: Draw yourself back up

Remember to maintain a consistant C-curve in your spine
