exercise tutorials Mar 19, 2016

As you probably know, the Chest Lift is a foundational Pilates mat exercise, which is part of many other exercises as well, i.e. all exercises of the Stomach Series (Single Leg Stretch, Double Leg Stretch, etc.), as well as The Hundred (on the mat and the Reformer), Coordination, Backstroke on the Reformer, Chest Lift on the Spine Corrector, etc.

Since we perform the Chest Lift so often, on different pieces of equipment and in combination with movements of the lower extremities, it's crucial that we have a reliable technique.

In the video, I offer you a few tips that will improve your technique of the Chest Lift, which in turn will give you a better abdominal workout and less neck strain.
