Fit Bit: Getting Serious with the Pilates Full Roll Up

By Jessica Gan

This movement can be easy for some but the fittest ones may also find it challenging.


What is “full roll up”?

It looks like a sit up but it is not. It is one of the classic pilates workout. Start by laying on the mat.

How do you do it?

  • Inhale and feel your rib cage expand. Arms reach towards sky.
  • Exhale and slowly peel your spine off the mat. Passing through imprint (spine very close flat on mat). Until your spine rolls over and arms touch the toes.
  • Inhale.
  • Exhale and keep the “c curve” and roll spine through flexion. 

How does it benefit you?

Strengthen your core.

What is a wrong way to do it?

Using momentum and rushing through without making the imprint. Jerking motions should be avoided.

It has been said that 1 roll up equals 6 sit ups.

Enjoy your way to fab abs!.
