Hi everyone – it's Amanda with Fitness Blender. Today, I want to do a form review for a foundational Pilates exercise – the hundred.
Start out lying on your back, knees bent, and feet flat. Engage your abdominals to flatten your lower back into the floor. Next, gently tip your nose down. Inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth as you curl your head, neck, and shoulders off the ground.
Once you’re here, reach your fingertips toward your feet and start pumping your arms. Make sure you’re breathing, keeping your core engaged, and your head lifted with length in the back of your neck.
What you don’t want to do is this: having your chin up and your nose facing the ceiling.
Now, if this position is easy, level it up by placing your legs in tabletop position. As long as your upper body stays lifted and your lower back remains flat on the ground, you can straighten your legs or even lower them to the diagonal.
I hope this was helpful, and if you’ve never tried Pilates, I hope this inspires you to do so. https://gofb.info/WorkoutsWithAmanda
