Coach's Tips

This Pilates move works your hamstrings and glutes while boosting core stability and leg flexibility.

1. Lie on the mat, bend your elbows, and support your upper body with your forearms.

2. Slightly lift your chest and extend your legs to hip-width apart.

1. Bend one knee and kick twice with your toes pointing towards your butt.

2. Slowly straighten your leg to return to the starting position.

3. Alternate and do the same with the opposite leg.

Exhale when you kick your legs twice, and inhale as you stretch your legs and come back.

1. Engage your core to avoid excessive bending of the waist.

2. Do not lift your legs too high; move within a pain-free range.

3. If you feel tension in your neck and shoulders, lower your upper body slightly.
