    Hi. I am Dory, and this is Advanced Pilates. Right now, I am going to show you to do the hundred. Go ahead and sit towards the middle of your mat, pull in those knees right in towards your chest, inhale and exhale, round out your spine, tuck your chin to your chest, and roll all the way back down on to the mat. Take a big, deep breath in, and as you exhale, what I want you to do is, to bring those fingertips towards your feet, and extend those legs to a forty five degree position. Inhale and exhale, lift the upper body up, eyes are going to be right on your navel, all you are going to do is, start to bounce those hands, just like this. Inhale for five, and exhale for five. Inhale five, exhale five, inhale five -- eyes are somewhere between your quads and your knees, exhale, inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale. You are halfway there, inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale; last three, inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale; last one, you can do it, I know its hard, inhale, exhale, pause and hold it. Pull those knees in towards the chest, slowly roll up and lets go ahead and move on.
