Pilates Hundred

Lie on the floor with legs together and arms long at your sides.

Engage your abdomen and lift your upper body and legs while coordinating the arm movement shown.

Maintain abdominal control while slowly lowering your torso and legs to the starting position.

This movement primarily works your abdominals. Focus on controlling the motion through these muscles.

Avoid excessive lower-back arching or pulling your neck forward. Keep the legs higher if control is difficult.

Exhale as you lift your torso and inhale as you return.

Support your upper body with your abdomen rather than straining your neck. Count one lift and return to the starting position as 1 rep.
