Great explanation!

[@DarrenWinkley]

Hi, Lesley. Thanks for the tips. I have super-tight hip flexors that make it nearly impossible to do rowing. I'd love to hear your suggestions! Thanks!

[@OnlinePilatesClasses]

Hi Darren, I was a professional runner so trust me I know what you mean by tight hipflexors and this series. I am sure plenty of people tell you to stretch. But, the truth is the more strength you have in your seat, hamstrings and stomach the easier this exercise gets. I recommend the hamstring curls on the reformer, going up front and side on the high chair (it'll open the hip of the pedal leg and strengthen the seat of the chair leg). Also, make sure in your other Pilates practice you are using your stomach and seat to hold your legs up (ie the hundred) so that you can sit up out of your lower back! Hope that helps. If not we can do a skype session.
