The Beginner's Guide to Pilates

Leg Floats

This exercise can be conducted in sets of 6-10 while alternative legs between repetitions:

1. Lie on your back with your legs bent and feet face-down on the floor so that you are in the preparatory position.
2. While breathing in, lift you knee towards you, while keeping the shin bone parallel to the floor. Your thigh and leg should form a 90 degree angle.
3. While breathing out, extend the leg away from you as far as you can, while keeping your pelvis and chest parallel to the floor.
4. While breathing in, bend your leg back towards you, so that you return to position #2.
5. While breathing out, return the foot to the floor (return to position #1).
6. Repeat steps #2 to #5 on the other leg.
