Today the Amazing Stickie is working on all kinds of good things, including spinal extension, core strength, and shoulder mobility. She is doing all this by doing the Pilates mat exercise Swimming.
She begins lying on her belly on the floor. Then she extends her arms and legs away from her until they lift up off the floor. She makes sure that she doesn’t just use her lower back to curve her spine, but also involves her middle back in the work. From there, she pulses her arms and legs up and down as if she were kicking while swimming and whacking the water with her arms. As she does this, she pulses her breath as well, breathing out for four counts and in for four. Eight cycles is enough.
She lowers herself back to the floor and takes a rest.
