It’s a sit up. Just call it what it is. Stop renaming everything
What a great video really appreciate the clarity of it. Thank you!
just go to Unflexal webworkouts and learn how to do workouts.
This is useful but the music in the background made me a little nuts!
this made me feel better about myself thanks for the living room bit I’ve never done a roll up before
Im a beginner and I don’t get it. you suppose to rollup just like that?? Impossible. Is there a way to slowly get to that rollup [ in the video ]. what is plan b. You showed plan A
impossible to do that right away. Im discouraged
I had a question…
I am practicing pilates for almost 1 1/2 yr
But I am still struggling with my roll ups.. unable to do smoothly..
But the moment I give even a little (1/2cm ) padding under my lumber back… I am little smoother
Could u suggest what should I work on…
Fyi… I have tight rectus fermoris..that is reason i guess my legs lift up too
While rolling up
I cannot for the life of me, keep my feet on the ground (rolling up or down)… When rolling down, just as my lower back is about to touch, my legs come up and I fall backwards.. Also when I’m trying to roll up, just as I have to get my lower back off of the ground..my feet fling up and I fall back.. This is even when I am using my arms to hold onto my thighs. It’s frustrating because I can’t even get the burning feeling in my abs, because just as I roll back or up, I fall!
Nice video, what about someone that has scoliosis and can’t round the spine cause muscles are uneven to be able to roll? Thank you
I can’t do the roll up on the Pilates Chair. I’m going to the floor on my next session and I’ll work up to the chair.
This is great! Ideally how long should I do each exercise for?
Thank you so much for this I have had 2 babies and have started getting back into workouts and this is the one move I just can not master, I will practise this
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. This is the one I see the most problems with in my classes and I have almost run out of new ways to explain the method. THANK YOU for fresh ideas!
I get stuck at 1:09. My stomach touches my thighs and it makes it very difficult to do the rest of the movement. Should I slim down some more before trying pilates? I’m trying to lose weight at the moment and have lost 10 lbs so far. My current weight is around 190 lbs. Other than that kudos for your video because it is really good at explaining how to do it properly.
Hooray!!! I’m so happy to hear it, congratulations on your first Roll-Up, you’re on your way!
(I am assuming this was for me?)
I watched the Pilatesology video where you talked about the strap, and I used my couch.
Tonight, I did my very first Roll-Up ever! I’m so happy I could cry! Thank you so much!
Hee hee, you have a talent for humor if not the Roll Up:). Seriously though, it’s not you at all-most people have the same difficulty when they learn this exercise. Go to my other channel (Pilatesology-the link is in the video description above) and find The Roll Up on that one I show how to anchor your feet and explain why that will help. There’s lots more free Pilates videos there too.
I really like the way you explain, but I find that I still cannot do it! When I got to that “the hardest part” My feet lifted up and I rolled backwards like a ball! EPIC FAIL! Is there something I had do to help this stop?
I like your videos very much! your technic is perfect and you are so beautiful! I like your entirely! Even your hairstyle and your voice:)
You’re not alone in having trouble with Neck Pull! I will post a video on it next month but in the meantime, try pressing your heels into the floor when you roll up and down and press your head into your hands, use the resistance. When Mr. Pilates taught this exercise, he always used a strap over your feet, no matter how advanced you were so that you could use your whole body.
Hi. In his book Pilates says that the “entire spine must touch mat or floor” in position 1. But the spine is naturally curved. So do i have to just lie on the floor or forcefully push my spine down as flat as possible?
Very useful, Lesley! Just started, and i just couldn’t get up let alone roll:-(
OKif you have a bit of fat when poking above and below your navel and getting up without pulling on the legshow do you do this one then? there are some hidden tummy muscles behind the fat but they don’t active at this very moment….
Great video! nice little series and great form. Can’t wait to share with some of my clients.
