Pilates "Why Can't I?" Series - The ROLL UP with Alisa Wyatt

http://pilatesology.com, http://www.alisawyatt.com Pilates was created as a corrective form of exercise to fix the misalignments that come from daily habits and weaknesses so that your body can function at its best. In the "Why Can't I?" series, I'm addressing the reasons some of us have a hard time doing certain exercises, like the ROLL UP. Learn what might be going on in your body that makes the exercise hard for you, and how Joseph Pilates himself would modify the movement so you can get it right. I'll be posting many more clips in this series so please let me know your thoughts and questions, I will be happy to answer them!

I can do roll-ups easily and comfortably, but I have a lot of trouble with the neck pull... maybe you could post a video of it?

You're not alone in having trouble with Neck Pull! I will post a video on it next month but in the meantime, try pressing your heels into the floor when you roll up and down and press your head into your hands, use the resistance. When Mr. Pilates taught this exercise, he always used a strap over your feet, no matter how advanced you were so that you could use your whole body.

Alisa:

When are you going to post a video of NECK PULL. It is the most challenging mat exercise of them all! When you do the video, would you do it both ways (1) using the strap on the feet (2) without the strap.

URGENT REQUEST LISA!!

Thank you very much.
