The Roll up

The Roll up gif

About

A classic Pilates move that strengthens your control over spinal flexion.

How to The Roll up

Starting Position

1. Lie down and stretch your arms above your head to start.

2. Engage your core.

Proper Form

1. I rise by rolling my spine one vertebra at a time.

2. I gently roll back to a lying position.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when you rise, and inhale when you go down.

Precautions

1. Do not use recoil.

2. Support with your abdomen to prevent your back from lifting.
