Katherine: Welcome to the Pilates on fifth video Podcast, I am Katherine.
Kimberly: I am Kimberly.
Katherine: Today’s exercise is elbow scoop with obliques. So we introduce the elbow scoop in a previous podcast but let’s go over that again. So sitting just off the sit bones and then you roll back and you bring your weight on to the elbows and it is like a traction effect you are just thinking of sliding your fore arms this way in your spine that way, so you may not look like this along going on but she is really strongly connected between her hip bones and her ribs, aiming for the lower back or the lower rib to hit the mat but it never well, so it is a nice feeling of link with the lot of support.
And then from here, shall any help to take one leg up in to table top and then exhale pick the other leg up in to table top, and now we are going to show you how to add a obliques, now she is going to rotate. So she is rotate her lower body, just pick between rotate and so its one thing you notice with the obliques, and all other scoop position , your lower body is rotating not your upper body, not believing when we do obliques for rotating the upper toes so the lower toes of its rotate so it’s a different feeling, towards exhale inhale switch exhale or if you can do little bit faster and do inhale, inhale and exhale and exhale, again you can do it slow as well, keeping this scoop for the entire time and you don’t want to rotate so far.
You can do wrong for sake that you really completely totally that’s fine, its just an inclination just think if you had a scales under each side, have you weight more one side and then you weight more on the other side. So you don’t have to think of completely rotating now it wouldn’t be good for your spine any way. And then to finish you bring one foot down and other foot down and that is your elbow scoop with obliques.
