One Foot with the Towel
In Pilates where you can do exercises with two feet, you likely can do it with one. And the Towel exercises are no different. If you discover during the Two Feet Towel work that one side is slower than the other or weaker, you can do the exercise with One Foot and work the weaker foot first. Then the stronger foot and go back to the weaker one. Like the Two Foot Towel exercise this can be done standing or sitting.
Like the Two Foot Towel exercise this can be done standing or sitting.
Typically done from Two Feet. Can be done standing or sitting. One foot is on the floor. The other foot, ball of the foot and toes is on the towel edge, heel is on the floor. If standing arms by your side, on hips or using a pole for balance. If sitting, arms by side to assist in sitting tall.
Curl the toes around the towel, lift the arch of your foot and pull the towel in. Spread the toes and place them back on the towel to grab higher up and pull it in some more. Repeat until you’ve rolled the towel as much as you can. Then, reverse it. Take the toes and curl them on top of the towel and flick them to spread the towel open. Repeat until the towel is spread out. Repeat if needed. Starting with weaker foot then do with the stronger foot and repeat on the weaker foot.
