Pilates Swimming Exercise
The swimming exercise is an advanced exercise as it uses both the arms and legs to challenge to control and stability of the entire back and pelvis.
Method:
- Lie on the front, position your arms on the floor above your head.
- Have the forehead resting on a towel and pull in the belly button and contract the pelvic floor.
- Take a deep breath in and then as you exhale, raise one leg and the opposite arm just off the floor.
- Hold for a few seconds before slowly returning to the floor and repeating with the other leg and arm.
- Aim to perform 2-3 sets of 10 repetitions.
