How to do the Hundred?

💪🏼 Keep your Pilates practice safe and effective by mastering the imprint position especially in the exercise,, the hundred“!
To do so, engage your deep abdominals by pulling your belly button towards your spine and activate your pelvic floor muscles.
While it's true that squeezing the glutes can help with this stabilization, it's important to focus more on engaging the deep abdominal muscles because they are the primary muscles responsible for maintaining a stable core and protecting the lower back.
When we focus too much on the glutes, we may overactivate them, which can lead to an excessive tilt of the pelvis and an arching of the lower back. This can put unnecessary strain on the lower back and potentially cause discomfort or even injury!
The imprint position is great for stabilizing your lower back and pelvis, improving posture, and strengthening your core muscles. Keep practicing and soon you'll feel the benefits both on and off the mat! 🧘🏻‍♀️✨
