Why I don’t teach the hundred in table top 

In Pilates, often times people put clients in table top during the Pilates 100. This position, while easy on the back does not provide strength required to use straight legs during 100.

I think this was great, Lesley! I personally started with tabletop with my teacher and she progressed us into extending one leg and bringing it back, the other leg and bringing it back, to extending both legs at the height that we could maintain. That said, part of the core warm up includes toe taps, both single and double, and leg reaches and opposite arm and leg reaches. The legs is always cued by lengthening the back line of the leg as it reaches and the arm to back connection with the arms. I definitely like some of the ideas that you mentioned here though.
