Pilates Ball Exercise: Single Leg Stretch

Video Transcript

"This exercise is called single leg stretch and we're going to use the ball to enhance our rotational movement. The exercise looks like this. We're going to bring one leg up and that's bend and the other one is extended. To keep your legs working together, glide the toe on the inside of the opposite leg because it tends to be a little sloppy when we come out here. We're going to inhale, tuck the chin and exhale, flex the torso up. Inhale, hold and exhale. Change the legs, bring the ball down. Really reach past your feet. Inhale, center. Exhale, reach. Inhale, center. Exhale, reach. Inhale, center. Exhale, reach. Inhale, center. Exhale, reach. Don't let the rib cage pop. Inhale, center. Exhale, reach. Inhale, center. Exhale, reach. Inhale, center. Exhale, reach and reach and reach and reach and reach. Go ahead and bring the ball over the knees and come down."
