Pilates Single Leg Tabletop
The single leg tabletop is an intermediate level exercise which aims to improve pelvic and lumbar spine control and stability during leg movements.
Method:
- Lie on the back with the knees bent and feet flat on the floor.
- Set your lumbar position and contract your core muscles.
- Breathe in and as you exhale, move the weight of one leg onto the heel.
- Lift the foot off the floor, leading with the bent knee until the knee is directly over the hip and the shin is parallel to the floor.
- Hold this position for a few seconds before slowly returning to the start.
- Aim to perform 2-3 sets of 10 repetitions.
