How to do Pilates Sit-Up?
Lie on your back on the floor. Place your hands behind your head with your arms extended straight.
Slowly bring your hands towards your chest. Once you reach chest level, tighten your abdominal muscles and lift your torso off the floor without lifting your feet.
When you reach a seated position, extend your arms forward towards your feet. Bend forward without arching your back, stretching as much as you can.
After touching your toes, come back down slowly, rolling your spine and keeping your abdominal muscles tight, and place your torso back on the floor. Return your hands behind your head and lie down again.
