専門家のコメント

Double leg kick is an original Joseph Pilates exercise that focuses on strengthening and lengthening the body.

It strengthens the whole posterior side of the body, stabilizes the scapular, and focuses on hamstring control. The focus should be on elongating the body rather than lifting yourself off the mat.
