Should we lie flat or use the position the picture shows?
in Pilates, either way
Nice catch! I don't know what the author intended but this exercise is called "swimming" in Pilates. It can be performed either lying down or kneeling. Lying down is considered beginner where as kneeling is considered intermediate. I hope this helps :)
