Dori Markakos: Hi. I am Dory. This is Advanced Pilates. I am going to show you how to do a full pushup with the leg raise. So, go ahead and seat yourself towards the back end of the mat, walk your hands forward and were essentially going to get it to a full pushup position. So, what I want you to think about is to have your hands dropped just below your shoulders, both legs are going to be extended out behind you and I don’t want your hips dropped or your hips popped up either way nice straight back, inhale and exhale. You're going to lift the right leg, keeping your hips in alignment, you're going to take it down and push up, inhale and exhale lower and lift; one more on this side, lower and lift.
Right leg comes down, check your alignment, lift the left leg just three on this side, inhale and exhale all the way down and push up two more; lower and lift; last one lower and lift. Realign yourself right back here to center and hold it, hold the pushup position and just three straight ones, lower and lift, lower and lift; last one, all the way down, all the way up. Drop to your knees for child’s pose, stretch and take a little stretch, you deserve it, inhale and exhale, go ahead and sit up and let’s move on.
