Five-minute preview: pilates rolling in three variations
(Always ask, “What is the reason for this exercise…?”)
In this 5-minute preview: one exercise can do different things!-
Rocking chair rolling requires a firm tummy and a non-moving spine: “like the rail on a rocking chair”
Spine articulation rocking turns your spine into the track on a caterpillar tractor!
Breathing teeter-totter uses the movement of the diaphragm to shift the weight of your tummy organs from one end of your teeter-totter (see-saw in UK English) to the other!
