How to Roll Like a Ball

Kimberley: Welcome to the Pilates on Fifth video podcast. I am Kimberley. Katherine: And I am Katherine. Kimberley: Today’s exercise is rolling like a ball using the small ball. We will show you two ways to do it, both are very challenging, so start sitting right up on your sit-bones, release and stretch your spinal muscles nice and long and pull your abdominals in. Now with an abdominal contraction, rollback of your sit-bones and pick one knee up and the other knee up. Now we are going to put the ball between the ribs and the front of the thighs and you are going to hold it there as we do this exercise. We are going for natural onto your neck, keep the way between these scapula. So, inhale rollback and exhale come forward, yep, and inhale rollback and exhale, she is not putting her feet down and inhale rollback, not overdoing the neck flexion, yep, and last time this way inhale back and exhale up, next way to do this, give it to me, okay, we will put the ball between the - - skip forward just to here because I am afraid that you are, you are getting kind of closer to the wall from my perspective, between the thighs and the calves. This is also a challenge for those who tend to extend their legs on the way back, this is a nice way to do it. So, inhale rollback between the scapula and exhale coming up and the pony tail monitor, and inhale rollback yep and exhale, now she is not putting her feet down, so you are brakes of the accelerator, you are brakes your abdominals of the accelerator and the brakes both and one more time inhale back, as accelerator and after the brake already and that is rolling like a ball using the small ball. If you would like more information on our New York studio, Pilates on Fifth, on our certification program, the Pilates Academy International or any of our products, please log onto pilatesonfifth.com. Also we have a great new website, ultimatepilatesworkouts.com, I guess it’s not so new anymore, almost three year old but has lots of free full-length mat workouts, so check it out. Bye, bye.
