Re: "The Hundreds"       12/15/03 12:57 PM Edit Reply Quote YogaTeacher Reged: 01/30/03 Posts: 80 Loc: New Hampshire I may be wrong, but I think what you might be referring to is actually called "The hundreds".... which is one of the first exercise you do in Pilates. "The hundreds" which consists of ten breaths of ten counts to equal 100. You lie on the floor, lift your legs up to about a 45 degree angle, or wherever you can hold them, and keep your back flat. While holding your legs in the air you engage the abdominals and lift your head and shoulders off the mat so you are in a scoop. Then you pump your arms by your side, almost as if you were slapping on water, pumping them up and down. Because both your legs and head are up in the air it forces the blood to go to your heart and pumping your arms back and forth forces the blood through your body. You're getting your circulation going and stimulating your organs making it both an internal and an external workout. Hope this helps. -------------------- "You have to be the change you wish to see in the world." Mahatma Gandhi Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
