Spring Bar Roll Downs.
This exercise comes directly from classic pilates on the Cadillac, except we put the feet together. This is an exercise for the deep abdominal. In the Roll downs, you initiative the movement by rolling your pelvis back, and the rolling the spine down from bottom to top. Finally your head rolls down. A helpful cue is to think of pushing backwards with your belly button, or even below the belly button. The movement is reversed going back up. We leave the arms long doing the exercise. This exercise is a favorite because it feels terrific.
