This Table Top exercise is another way of engaging those underactive butt muscles. Make sure you maintain a long neutral spine and don’t be tempted to raise the leg too high which will take the movement into the lower back – keep it hip level. Alternate for 5 on each leg.( The opposite arm reach is optional and will add a further challenge to balance and stability).

I fell in love with the controlled and focussed movement of Pilates as soon as I started it and before long my back pain and regular flare ups that meant I could barely move were a thing of the past. I wanted to share this with others and so trained and qualified as a Body Control Pilates teacher in 2004.
