I love the idea of these little videos – thank you, Robin!! The Hundred is definitely my bugaboo. I’d much rather do the rollup! 🙂 I have to keep my head and neck down because of a neck injury, but I find it still hurts my neck to do this. Any thoughts?
Yes! Try folding a small towel and placing it under your head. That should feel better. I hope it helps!
Excellent! Thank you!

Hi robin!
When you extend your legs in hundred does your back fall out of neutral automatically by lengthening legs?
Not necessarily. It is possible to maintain neutral with extended legs – but I recommend keeping a flat back because you have to be pretty strong and stable to maintain neutral without strain. 🙂
Done! Thank you Robin❤
Most certainly got the blood flowing Robin ??♥️??♀️
The kind of Love ❤️ you need to get stronger but at about 60 my neck starts to hurt too!
Thank you for the video. I leaned and also understood the purpose of it as I could not figure out the benefit.
❤️
So glad you found this helpful, Gabriela! ?
This was helpful to fine tune.. Thanks, Robin!
