How to Do the Leg Pull Support Pilates Exercise

Video Transcript

"I'm going to be teaching you to do the "Leg Pull Front" exercise. This exercise is actually started from the floor. And we show the set up with the elbows pulled back towards you, Shoulder blades engaged onto the back. Legs lengthening long in Pilate?s stance. And knees lifted up off the mat. Now, to the best of your ability, as one smooth motion, we're going to lift up to a push-up position. So we're really going to press down through the hands, engage the abdominals, engage the legs, lifting the knees long, and press up and lengthen. Bringing the chest right over the thumbs, Abs drawing in and up. Ribs pulled into your back. Curling the tail bone under, pressing out through the heels. Now, heels together, firmly into the centerline. "Head to Heel like Steel", Abs pulling in. Release right underneath my hands, keeping this up, up, up. Ten more seconds. Nine, eight, seven, releasing your shoulders in, Yes! Softening in the hard space, but lengthening out through the body. And slowly lower down to the floor. Keeping those armpits into the back. And that is how we do the "Leg Full Front Support"."
