The Amazing Stickie and the Pilates Pushup






The Amazing Stickie knows that when Uncle Joe Pilates does a version of an exercise, it’s going to be interesting.  The Pilates pushup is a whole-body experience.

Stickie begins standing with good posture.  Keeping her weight toward her toes to keep her hips from falling back as long as possible, she curls her spine forward until her hands touch the ground.  From there, she walks her hands forward until she is in plank position.  Keeping her elbows close to her body, Stickie lowers and raises her body three times, maintaining a straight line between her head and her heels.  Then she walks her hands back toward her feet, returning to the forward bend position before stacking her spine up again to return to her starting position.  Stickie likes it that each Pilates pushup incorporates three pushups.
