Your Daily Move: Pelvic Curl

The Pelvic Curl: This Pilates exercise targets buttock muscles, hamstrings, abdominals and spinal articulation and mobility.

• Lay on your back and place your feet on the floor, hip-width apart in parallel, a few inches away from your sitting bones.

• Feel the length of your spine on the mat from the crown of your head to the base of your tailbone.

• Take an inhale, then tuck your pelvic and begin peeling your spine off the mat from your Tailbone, Waistline, up to your Ribcage.

• Connect with your inner thighs (adductors) to keep your knees in parallel and your glutes engaged.

• Press down through your arms at the top, Inhale.

• Exhale lower back down to the mat from your Ribcage, Waistline, and Tailbone, feeling your shoulders widening on the mat and your vertebrae tractioning down like a chain.

• Repeat 4x!
