Spine Stretch Forward is an original Pilates exercise that increases the flexibility of the spine and tones the abdominal muscles. The key to performing this exercise correctly is to focus on flexing the spine evenly and NOT on stretching the hamstrings, though you may feel a slight stretch in the hamstrings. Start with your knees bent or sitting up on a cushion if tightness prevents you from achieving a vertical start position. Visit www.PilatesOnFifth.com for more info.
