In Part 2 of Dip From The Hip we explore using props to increase the intensity for the abdominals and obliques. Bring your blocks, cushions, rolled up blankets or towels and a Pilates mini ball if you have one for another core strengthening mini session.
In this 10 minute mini workout we take one Pilates based exercise, the Dip from the Hip and explore a combination of ways to work our abdominals, obliques and hip flexors. A quick strength workout to pop in to your fitness routine for a bit of variety.
In this Full Body Workout you will be using your upper body strength, abdominals, obliques and your Glutes. The exercises use some of the bigger muscles, so you will be working the whole body from top to toe in just 15 minutes. As always I offer adaptations and modifications so you can exercise at your own level, ensuring you work on your breath with good technique and mindful movement. This is a great routine to leave you feeling strong and energised.
The Hundred is one of the foundation Pilates exercises and the first of the original 34 Moves from Joseph Pilates book Return to Life through Contrology.
The Pelvic Tilt/Roll Up uses our spinal flexors, extensors and stabilisers, the Rectus Abdominals and Obliques.
