7 Quick Pilates Moves for an Anywhere Workout

Double Straight Leg Stretch (Lower Lift)

This is your position at the bottom of the exercise before raising the legs back up to a 90 degree angle

Setup: Curl the head and neck up with your hands folded one on top of the other behind the base of your skull then extend both legs up to the ceiling. Your heels should be together with your toes slightly turned out in a V shape.

Execution: Lower the legs (as low as you can go without letting your stomach pop and your lower back lift off the mat) and lift your legs back up to the starting position. (To modify: place hands in a diamond shape under your tailbone, head can be up or down.)

Reps: Repeat 10 times
