🔥 Note: There are TWO posts for March 24th! 🔥
.
Another double day – March 24th! We’re doing the two Leg Pull exercises today (#25 and #26). They are one of those weirdly named exercises (again) because in the “front” version you’re lifting your leg back and in the regular version you’re lifting it up front. Go figure!
Andrea Maid writes: “We’ve done our stretches of the front of the body before we get to this exercise, but now there’s a little more at stake. Gone is the luxury of lying down, and my God, we still have to work each side separately.
Joe Pilates, have you no mercy??!”
.
As always, if you need to warm-up, do at least The Hundred, maybe all of the previous 24 exercises. Then repeat this exercise 3 times on each side.
.
Follow Joe’s instructions from the excerpt from Return to Life. And make sure to modify to ensure your body gets what you need today.
