She's Doing It Wrong! -__-

[ztimeproductions]

...... the teaser is supposed to start with a cervical not, not arms above your head :S

IMPORTANT ADVICE TO VIEWERS:

the best way you can accomplish a good craniosacular connection and use your body effectively is to go and take some pilates privates, then group classes so you are using your body correctly... by watching these videos you are leaving too much room for error and you can hurt yourself

OMG, To everybody who wants to do Pilates, take care off your body and never copy this videos at home. Most are wrong, and most part of the bodys needs a matwork Pilates begginer progr. to reach the advanced. This girl never takes control of her lower back, and what she is doing is very bad for her spine instead of taking control and get the strenght of the spine, and abs. Most part of the time she looses control of her deep abdominals... Take care ppl :)

They also say:

"To do it: Lie face-up on a mat. Lift your legs so your thighs are perpendicular to the floor, and your knees are bent 90 degrees. Raise your hands toward the ceiling. Lift your torso and straighten your legs, so your body forms a V. Hold for one second, then slowly roll back down, keeping your legs raised. Do eight to 10 reps."

From MSN Health & Fitness:

"Turns out Pilates abdominal moves are superior to crunches for sculpting your midsection and uncovering those abs, according to a study at Auburn University at Montgomery, in Alabama. An exercise called "The Teaser" is especially effective. It activates 39 percent more of your rectus abdominus muscle (that's your six-pack) and 266 percent more of your external obliques (your love handles)."

This is typical of a lot of Pilates out there, very little understanding of the method. Do not copy this video. Get an appointment with a Classical teacher!

I agree with bonnieb118. You also have to be careful about popping out your ribs when you lay back. Keep the rib to hip connection.

haha, youre not doing it right ... you have to straighten your back all the way in the end and hold the position longer.. lol
