The Double Leg Stretch Exercise for Pilates

The next exercise I am going to demonstrate for you is called the double leg stretch. Again, you are going to be on your mat, flat on your back, and pull both knees into your chest. Option 1, you can keep your head on the floor while you are doing this exercise. Option 2, you can go ahead and start with your chin tilt to your chest, forward to your knees. You are going to inhale as you extend your arms and legs out away from you. Turn your palms away from your body, exhale and bring yourself back into your ball. Extend your legs only as close to the floor as you possibly can without over-arching your back. Remember there is a neutral alignment in your spine and navel stays pulled into towards your spine. So listen to your body, do what you can. Inhale, extend and exhale come in. Perfect. Inhale, arms and legs extend and exhale. Again, inhale. Navel to spine and exhale.
