The Pilates Roll Up Exercise Instructions in Detail

Lie on the floor with your legs straight, arms by your sides. Take a few deep breaths allowing your belly to drop in toward the floor with your exhales.

When you are ready, leave your scapula anchored in your back, and your ribs down, as you bring your arms over your head so that your finger tips are pointing to the wall behind you. Don't take your hands so far back that the ribs pop up, keep the ribs down.

This is your beginning position.
