Pilates Exercise : 100s
Our first movement is called the 100. You are going to carefully lower yourself down, bone by bone, bring your knees into your chest, bring your head about the mat, float your arms six inches off the floor and start to pump. You're going to extend your legs out. If this feels bad I want you to bring your knees back in to a 90 degree angle, much safer on the back. Float your arms six inches off the mat, start to pump. You are going to inhale for five, exhale for five. I want you to bring your navel down towards your spine on each exhale. I want your shoulder blades relaxed and long, fingertips long. It's called the 100 because it is 10 breaths, 10 times. Last time. Excellent. Bring your knees into your chest, relax your head, and bring your feet back down to the mat.
