Full-Body Roll Up Exercise

Hi, I'm Chris Freytag, and I'm gonna show you how to do a full body roll-up . A full body roll-up , is a Palisade's exercise, and it's a great exercise because it uses the entire core abs and back. But I'm gonna show you how to do it properly. So let's lay all the way down to the mat, all the way down, and you want to pull your belly in towards your spine. Relax your arms up overhead, shoulders away from the ears. Inhale your arms up to the sky, Exhale peel up head, neck and shoulders, and then one vertebrae at a time. As you come up, scoop out those abdominals and come all the way forward and stretch. Then inhale start to go back , one vertebrae at a time with control all the way down, keeping your heels on the ground and all the way back. We'll do it a little faster. Inhale your arms up. Exhale, blow that air out and scoop out those abs all the way over. Inhale go back, exhale roll down one vertebrae at a time, really being in control. Imagine you're on an imaginary piece of Velcro and you're pulling each vertebrae up. One at a time all the way over, and then all the way back. Now, if you find this exercise challenging and you find that your feet are coming off the ground, when you come up, one way to change that is to perhaps put your feet underneath your couch or your bed and anchor them, or have someone hold your anchor ankles or grab a resistance band around your legs and that will help you come up and down as you get a little stronger in your core. So give the full body, roll up a try and see how it works for you.
