Pilates Exercise of the Week No. 5 – Roll Downs

This week’s exercise is a great stretch for the whole back and legs. Great if you’re spending long periods sat in a chair working from home at the moment.

Roll Downs

• Take a deep breath prior to stretching
• As you breathe out, tuck your chin in and look down to the floor
• Roll the shoulders forward and slide the hands down the front of the legs and reach as far as possible
• Hold this position for 10 seconds
• Take a deep breath in and as you breathe out reverse the movement back into standing upright
• Repeat 2-3 times
