I am visiting this site as a free trial and I come upon this video of fundamentals which was perfect for me to realize that I am not fully prepared for my roll up. Even though I "can get up" my legs come up slightly which I know has to do with my Psoas engagement but I feel that my real problem lies in the three little inches that I lack in my thoracic flexion. I repeated the first 5 min part of this video a couple of times and I feel that my roll up had more flow. It serves a great purpose as a pre-pilates exercise. Thank you, Kathy.
This just gets better each time I repeat it. Today the subtle difference in the house for the mouse right to left provided both food for thought and insight into my body. Thank you just isn't enough!
Powerfull exercise series! I enjoyed it! I had the same problem, though, as Marcella Coelho. I cannot roll up, without my feet raised, but neither can I roll down satisfactorily. My feet in that angle cannot stay flat (they flee from the middle line) and if I bring them closer to me, the rolling down, gets even more difficult. I don't know what the problem is. The lordosis and the weak abdominals, the tight abductors and/or the tight psoas, the problematic per?nious muscle, all of them together? Is there a pre-pre exercise for those two? Thank you! Marcella
