Helen Rackowe Pilates

Hello!
Lets get moving ⭐️⭐️

🎁 Day 9 of our ‘25 Days of Fitness’ Advent Challenge.
The pilates ROLL UP
It’s designed to help you mobilise and stretch your spinal column and strengthen your abs.

Handy Tips
🎄Lay flat on your back with arms stretched overhead.
🎄. Close your ribs down into the mat behind you.
🎄 Reach the arms to the sky, peel up the head and shoulders then roll up through the spine bone by bone.
🎄 You may find there is a tight spot in your lower back you need to tilt your pelvis back towards you and connect the lumbar into the ground to make this part smooth.
🎄 Keep the tummy muscles connecting to create a c shaped scoop on the front of the body as you stretch forwards over your legs.
🎄 Roll back down smoothly and slowly.
🔥🔥 For extra challenge try the whole sequence keeping your hands behind your head with wide elbows.

So… now it’s your turn.

Get your family to join in too if they fancy a try. If you do the challenge, share your photo or video! It’s brilliant to see this little advent community building. 😊❤️🤣
