Transverse Strengthening With Upper Body Lock & Knee Extension

Description

You are lying on your back with your knees bent and a Pilates ring or ball in your hands. You will exhale and draw in your stomach to contract the transverse muscle, then squeeze the ring to lock your upper body. In this position, you will extend one leg before returning to the initial position. After a few repetitions, you return to the starting position.
