Today’s Mat Series: Single Straight Leg Variations
To modify or warm up, keep head down. When you’re ready, lift shoulder blades and head off the ground and look towards your belly. Try to keep your torso still while you do all the moves 🙂
TRADITIONAL:
* Lay on your back and lengthen both legs to the ceiling
* Scoop your abs (think of an ice cream scooper) and roll your shoulder blades away from your ears
* Grab one leg just above the ankle while the opposite leg lowers to the floor
* Pull the leg towards your shoulders 2x then switch, inhaling for 2 and exhaling for 2
* 8-10x on each leg
BALL TAPS W/ SQUEEZE
* Same set up as above but this time place a Pilates ball in-between your palms
* Instead of pulling your leg, this time tap the ball to shin/ankle and squeeze it 2x before switching
* Keep shoulders away from your ears, especially when squeezing
* 8-10x on each leg
BALL UNDER PASS
* Same set up as above
* This time passing the ball under each leg before switching
* Keep the scoop in your belly
* 8-10x on each leg
NOTES
* Try to keep legs straight but can slightly bend them if needed, especially if you’re feeling tight
* If you want to really challenge yourself, do each set back to back without resting
