Pilates Reformer Exercise: The Hundred | Pilates Anytime

Muscle Focus: Abdominals. Objective: Strengthen the abdominals, increase breath, and warm up the body. Reformer Setup: Start with two to four springs. The footbar is down. Start Position: Lie on your back, holding the handles in both hands, and bringing both knees into the chest. Reach both arms straight to the ceiling. Curl the head and shoulders up, while pressing both arms straight towards the carriage, and reaching both legs straight and together at a high diagonal. Movement: Pump the arms as you inhale for five pumps and exhale for five pumps. Repeat nine more times. Ensure that the abdominals stay drawing down towards the carriages with the shoulders depressed as the arms pump. The neck stays in line with the spine as one unit. ______________________________ Pilates Anytime is an online streaming fitness platform.
