🔥 Note: There are TWO posts for March 24th! 🔥
.
The second half of our double day with the Leg-Pull I’d be calling “Front” but Joe had to confuse us all…
Andrea Maid writes – just to repeat her plea to Joe 😉: “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 25 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.
Instructions from Online Pilates Classes – with suggestions on how to make the exercise easier starting at about 04:13:
