Pilates Arm Stretch
The arm stretch is a beginners level exercise which challenges the core muscles by moving both arms.
Method:
- Start by lying on your back with the feet flat on the floor and the knees bent.
- Find your neutral lumbar spine position and contract your core muscles.
- Raise the arms so that they are pointing up to the ceiling.
- Take a deep breath in and as you exhale slowly take the arms over your head towards the floor.
- Stop just above the floor, pause and then return to the starting position.
- Aim to perform 2-3 sets of 10 repetitions.
