Transverse Contraction & Upper Body Lock in Single Leg Support

Description

You are standing, with a Pilates ring or ball between your hands. You will exhale and pull in your stomach to contract the transverse muscle, then squeeze the ring to lock the upper body. While maintaining the tension in the ring, you will balance on one leg by flexing the hip at 90° before placing it back down. After a few repetitions, relax completely.
