iPod Video
Elbow Scoop Scissors is a variation of the original Pilates mat exercise “Scissors.” The elbow scoop position helps facilitate a deeper rib to hip connection while creating a safer position (strong posterior tilt) for those who wish to explore increased range of motion. Be careful not to sink into the shoulders and to maintain a lengthened spine in this position. You’ll tone and flatten the abdominal muscles and increase flexibility of the hamstrings.
