Скачать или смотреть Pilates Roll Over

Normally, in ab exercises, we move in one direction--from the ribs to the hips. Crunches, Roll ups, The Hundred, and numerous other ab exercises help us strengthen our abdominals by working from origin to insertion. Roll overs are different, though.

With Roll overs, we are moving the hips toward the ribs. In other words, we're working from insertion to origin. This is important because, as we challenge our muscles in different ways, we can build greater strength. 

Also, Roll overs are an excellent exercise to build core strength because they use the adductors (inner thighs). Many people don't realize that their adductors play a role in their core strength, but they do. Because of its ability to strengthen the abdominals in a different way and engage the adductors, Roll over is an excellent core strengthening exercise.
