Hi, I'm Sydney with Pilates Tonic, and today we're looking at an exercise that involves holding your leg with your arms versus holding your leg with your leg muscles. Now, this is a move that you may wanna move to where you can lean up against a wall so that you've got a wall behind you to help you with balance. You can also try it without the wall and see how it goes. But you're gonna start off with your feet hip distance apart. You're gonna back your weight up into your heels. So you're gonna try to get your hips over your heels. Then we're gonna shift to your left leg and go ahead and lift your right leg up in front of you. So using your leg muscles to lift your right leg and then go ahead and reach down and grab onto your shin. So hold the weight of your leg here. So now we're using the arms to help you hold. And I just wanna, well, I'll come back and I'll show you a form point here in a minute. So now hold with the weight, hold with your arms. Now take your arms away, hold, let your leg muscles do the work to hold your leg. Come back, hold with your arms one more time, and then go ahead and set your leg down. Now, a form point that I wanna show you, when you go to do this exercise, go ahead and lift your leg up. So you're holding, whoops, the weight of your leg with your leg muscles, reach down and grab on to your leg. And now notice, are you bending your standing leg and has your pelvis kind of scooted out from underneath you? And can you, if you see that to be the case, can you lift yourself up and back your pelvis up? So really lean your pelvis back. So maybe if the wall's behind you, your bottom to the wall behind you. But can you get that standing alignment of your hip over your knee, over your ankle? So that's a really great way to fine tune this exercise. If you have any comments or questions, just leave them in the comments below. Thanks so much for watching, and I'll see you next time.
