Roll Up

Enhance the abdominal muscles, focusing on the deep internal connections, and ensure pelvic stability while improving spinal mobility and flexibility.

Stretching and elongating the muscles of the back.

This exercise demands significant core strength and should initially be taught in a modified form (half roll up) until the client can fully engage the entire core, preventing back strain.

In the initial mat series, the lower back is pressed down, but the pelvis remains stable without "tipping." Pelvic stability is crucial for maintaining a strong connection with the deep abdominal muscles. Encouraging engagement of the "pelvic floor" muscles is an effective method to enhance stability.
