I tried Pilates roll-downs every day for a week - and was amazed at how quickly it eased years of stiffness

Health writer Becks Shepherd trying Pilates roll downs every day.

If there’s one thing about me, it’s that I’m a very willing participant when it comes to trying out an exercise or form of fitness that’s going to make me (and my back, shoulders and neck) feel great. This is where completing the Pilates roll-down every day for a week comes into the mix.

Over the years, I’ve tried many challenges to help boost my flexibility and mobility and ease away some tightness felt in these areas. From completing a downward dog every day (a firm fave!) to doing cat cows every day of the week (another big tick in my books). But, IMHO, you can never have too many individual yoga stretches and Pilates exercises in your back pocket.
