Dans cet épisode de Biopilates Deep Dive, nous explorons l’un des exercices les plus emblématiques – et les plus exigeants – de la méthode Pilates : la Centaine, aussi appelée The Hundred.
Souvent considérée comme un simple échauffement, la Centaine est en réalité un test complet de stabilité, de respiration, d’endurance musculaire et de contrôle postural.
Caroline vous guide dans l’exécution précise du mouvement, les erreurs courantes à éviter, les modifications possibles, et vous aide à mieux comprendre les types de contractions musculaires engagés, ainsi que le rôle du système nerveux dans la gestion de l’effort.
Un épisode riche, pédagogique et inspirant, pour redécouvrir cet exercice fondamental sous un jour nouveau.

In this episode of Biopilates Deep Dive, we unpack one of the most iconic — and deceptively demanding — exercises in the Pilates method: The Hundred.
Often seen as just a warm-up, The Hundred is in fact a full-body challenge of stability, breathing, muscular endurance, and postural control.
Caroline guides you through detailed execution, common mistakes, modifications, and explains the different types of muscle contractions involved — including how the nervous system responds to prolonged effort.
A rich, educational, and empowering episode to see this foundational movement with new eyes.
