EXERCISE 6
Objective:
Abdominals
Posture:
Lie down on the floor on your back with your
legs at a slight angle. Place the stretch band under
both feet. Grip the Pilates/Yoga Bar with both hands
from below, keeping your hands shoulder width apart
– approx. at hip height – creating some tension in the
band.
Exercise:
Tense/engage your core/abdominal muscles
and slowly raise your upper body, always keeping your
head in a straight line so as not to injure the neck or
spine. Lower your body without lowering your head.
Always keep your core/abdominals engaged and do not
pull the band into your chest.
Breathing:
Exhale when you lift your arms and inhale
when you lower them.
Repetition:
15-20 times.
Modification:
Lifting your forearms helps support sitting
up as does using a band with greater pulling force.
** Position your feet between the markings on the
resistance bands.
