Double Leg Kick Pilates Exercise from yoopod.com

[@PilatesOD]

A wonderful exercise to counteract what you are probably doing right now… sitting in a chair… slightly hunched over… shoulders round and slumped forward… ;o) When performing the exercise, don’t worry about how high you can lift your upper body or legs. Instead think about OPENING the front of your body with breath and movement. Take a HUGE breath in when lifting your upper body off the floor and make your air-filled lungs lift your rib cage -- which lifts your breast bone and collar bones -- which lift and open your shoulders. Reach back through the arms and open the front of your body. Think about a figurehead set at the prow of a sailing ship and feel the wind blowing in your face.
