Your starting position for this pilates leg workout is lying face down with your hands supporting your forehead. Your legs are extended with your feet flexed and turned out.

Place the small cushion or pillow between your thighs. Hold in your stomach to support your lower back.

Now, as you breath out, slowly raise your legs about 5 centimeters off the floor. As the same time you are squeezing the cushion or pillow with your inner thighs and trying to touch your knees together. Don’t let the hips lift off the floor and keep your stomach sucked in throughout the whole movement.

Next, as you breath in, lower your legs down about 10% then repeat the movement above, on the next out breath.

Repeat these movements, breathing out and then breathing in for 15-20 reps. Rest for 60 seconds then do one more set of 15-20 reps.

Tip 1: Do not place any pressure on your elbows and be careful not to hunch your shoulders or arch your back.

Tip 2: If you find your knees are touching easily, find a bigger cushion or pillow for this pilates leg workout.
