Every week i'll try to update this page with another exercise pulled from my workouts to help give you options and ideas to add to your workouts if you're looking for something interesting. If you have any suggestions of anything you'd like to see, please let me know! Enjoy!

The Rollover -

Lie flat on your back, arms at your sides with palms down, and legs straight with feet in the Pilates position. Exhaling, lift your legs straight up and over your head, tightening your abdominal muscles and glutes. Balance on your shoulders, open your legs hip width apart, and slowly roll one vertebrae at a time back down toward the floor to just before your back arches. Repeat 3-5 times.

The Bridge -

BRIDGE -- Lie on your back with your knees bent, feet flat on the mat. Exhale as you tighten your glutes, pressing your feet firmly against the matt and lift sequentially from your coccyx to the upper thoracic spine. Support your back with your hands, placing your elbows on the mat directly under your hands. Inhale as you extend one leg straight out, off the mat, then reach all the way toward the ceiling with toe pointed. Exhale, flexing the foot and lowering your leg towards the mat, stretching long until it is level with your bent knee. Repeat 3-5 times, then return foot to the mat and switch legs.
