The DOUBLE LEG LOWER AND LIFT is a classic mat Pilates exercise that targets deep core strength, pelvic stability and lower abdominal control --while also challenging your ability to maintain neutral alignment under load.

Inhale to prepare. As you exhale, slowly lower both legs toward the floor, moving from the hip joints-not the lower back. Only lower as far as you can while keeping your core engaged and your low back stable ( no arching or rib flare). Inhale at the bottom to pause with control.
Exhale to lift both legs back up to the starting position, initiating the movement from your lower abdominals-not momemtum.
