"This beginner mat pilates exercise is the classic pilates exercise, called the hundred. The purpose of the hundred is to create heat in the body. So, you want to perform this exercise pretty much before you perform all your other pilates exercises. Come on down to your mat, and you want to start off by bringing your knees directly over your hips, so, you're in a table top position. If you bring your knees in towards your chest, you might not be able to contract your abdominals, as much as you really need to. So, make sure that you have your knees directly over your hips. Then, lift your head and shoulders up off the mat, reach through your arms, reach through your fingertips. Again, you want to pull those shoulder blades back and down. Now, your head position. You want to imagine that you've got a tea cup resting on top of your head, and you don't want to spill any of that tea out of your teacup. So, look towards your thighs, that should be your gaze point. Then, start pumping your arms vigorously. Now, your goal here, is to keep your torso completely still. Just imagine that you've got your torso cemented into the mat, and just keep pumping those arms. Now, when you have this mastered, and you want to take it up to the next level, then you can extend your legs upward. And you want to put your heels together, toes out like a V, and then to make it even more challenging, you can lower your legs down. But, really think about keeping the small of your back connected to the mat. Now, your breathing is inhale, two, three, four, five, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh; inhale, two, three, four, five, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. Perform this exercise until you do a hundred pumps, and then rest. And you're going to really feel that burning your core. That's the hundred."
