Up-stretch Pilates exercise is part of the Long stretch series in the classical repertoire on the reformer Pilates equipment.
By now, if you love Pilates, you should know that it’s a full-body exercise regime. Yes, you should. So, every time you’re practicing or teaching, you want to do this – engage all the abdominal muscles to create a full-body exercise.
Because when you make an effort to begin every single movement from your abdominal, you create a force concentrated around your core. This force is then transferred to move other muscles along the way.
This is how every exercise works in Pilates.
