The Pilates Single Leg Stretch exercise modified for level 1. Benefits of exercise: Core stability, lengthen muscles in legs and arms, co-ordination.
Work in neutral spine, engage core muscles drawing in the belly so that you feel you are wearing tight jeans (about a quarter of the way in, not too tight). Keep the breath flowing whilst exercising. Beginners, work the legs only. When this becomes easy to maintain, add opposite arm to leg keeping the ribs drawn in so that the back does not arch up as you work. Breath- breathe out to take the leg away from the body and in to draw it back in. For further instructions go to the Pilates link on the Keep Active page of www.looklovely.net
Check with your doctor before commencing any new exercise programme especially if you have a medical issue.
