Okay so now you know where neutral pelvis is standing from prior ab workouts Pilates exercise.
Well now lay down on your back , place a pillow under your head and upper shoulders so they can relax. Have your knees up and feet flat on the floor. Now rock that pelvis back and forward until you find neutral. You can tell lying and actually standing up too. Place the heel of each hand on the bony points on front of your pelvis I call them the headlights. Place your straight fingers on your pubic bone on each side. If you have a flat palm you have neutral pelvis. If that palm is tilted down you have too much arch into your lower back. If that palm is tilted up you are tucking under with that butt. What you need is approximately a pea sized space between your lower back and the floor Okay. now put your fingers on your headlights and then walk your fingers about ½’ to 1” into the middle and let the fingers sink deep. So you have to let those outer abdominals go. Come on let them relax. Take a breath as I have taught you in Ab Workouts-breathing and as you exhale see if you can feel a stretching feeling beneath your fingers down deep. That’s the deep abdominal engaging. You have to have those fingers sunk deep. If you didn’t feel it take another breath and sink fingers deep and as you breathe out feel those headlights pull away from each other. Did you feel it stretch? Still not ? Try this Cough and you will feel it . But make sure those fingers are deep Still can’t feel it? Don’t despair . You weren’t born without one. Just have an awareness it is there. It may not be ready to start working but it will fire. It can take a few sessions. Now lets work it. Keep your fingers where they can feel that muscle. Inhale slide one leg out across the floor with as much resistance into the floor as you can get without stopping that leg. Right out to a straight leg and feel like the leg is being controlled from the deep ab. Exhale pull that leg back in with resistance pulling it back from the deep ab. Did you feel it work? Keep going even if you don’t feel it. But make sure that pelvis stays in neutral as you work. Try not to shift it around as the deep ab won’t be felt. 4 slides on each leg. That’s it make that muscle work. Feel your ab workouts. If you are one that finds it easier to follow in a class situation, then you can find a Pilates class to put in these basics of ab workouts and other
