For the "seal" exercise, how many repetitions are usually practiced?

The seal exercise is typically practiced for 6-8 repetitions because this range allows for a balance between maintaining form and achieving the necessary engagement of the core muscles, which is essential for the exercise's effectiveness. Performing this number of repetitions promotes fluidity and rhythm, both of which are key components of the seal. The movement involves rolling back and coming back to a seated position, so practicing within this repetition range helps students develop a proper understanding of coordination and balance while ensuring that the practice remains enjoyable and challenging, without leading to fatigue or loss of form. This repetition count is also conducive to building strength and stability within the Pilates framework.
