» Day 3 – Pilates hundreds – for core stability



Exercise: Hundreds

The goal of this exercise is to hold for 100 beats, however if you are a beginner start with 20 and gradually build up.

Bring legs to the tabletop position as shown, maintaining a neutral spine (small arch only in your back). Keep your ribs down to ensure abdominal engagement. Inhale deeply for 5 beats, making small pulsing movements with your arms, then exhale deeply for 5 beats, continuing the pulsing movements in the opposite direction

Targets the transverse abdominis and rectus abdominis, as well as focusing on breathing control.
