Coach's Tips

This Pilates move boosts both spinal rotation and hamstring flexibility.

How to The Saw

Starting Position

1. Sit with your legs spread wide and your spine straight.

2. Extend your arms to the sides.

Proper Form

1. Rotate your upper body and bend down so that your hands are pointing towards the opposite foot.

2. Give a short pulse and then come back.

Breathing Technique

Breathe out when you bend down, and breathe in when you come back up.

Precautions

1. Fix your sit bones to prevent your pelvis from rotating.

2. Maintain the length of your spine to keep your upper body from collapsing.
