Pilates for a Healthy Back

On all fours, flow between arching and rounding with your breath.

6 reps. Lying face down, hands by your shoulders, lift your chest a little using your back muscles, then lower.

Face down, arms and legs long and lifted, flutter opposite arm and leg.

4 each side. Sitting tall, legs together, arms out wide, rotate from your waist and return.

4 each side. Legs wide, twist and reach your hand past the opposite little toe.

On your back, knees bent, let them sway slowly from side to side.
