Short Spine focuses on strengthening the muscles that support the spine, hips and knees through controlled movement and focused breathing.

Abdominals, hip flexors, and upper and mid back posterior spinal muscles are challenged and strengthened to execute Leg Circles on the Ladder Barrel. Bonus...pecs, anterior delts and biceps get a nice stretch.

‘Feet in Straps’ on the Reformer is an integral part of a Pilates practice that focuses on strengthening the muscles that support the HIP and KNEE JOINTS, and the postural muscles that support the spine. In every practice we focus on joint articulation, spinal mobility, core strength, and muscular balance for improved posture.

Props, like the Fitness Circle, can provide proprioceptive feedback (scapular stabilizers in this case), in your Mat/Reformer progression Pilates session. #🔔

Workout SMARTER!!!! One of the so many benefits of a Pilates practice on equipment ie. Reformer, Cadillac, and Stability Chair, is exercising with the resistance of the ‘springs.’ So, even though the spine and hips are in a stable position (not moving) in this exercise, the ‘spring load’ recruits all the muscles required to stabilize the spine and hips, including the abdominals, posterior muscles of the spine, glutes, hamstrings, quads, scalp stabilizers, and anterior muscles of the neck, too. Furthermore, the ‘springs ‘ provide a resistance to STRENGTHEN and s t r e t c h the muscles that are working to move the shoulder joints: the pecs, biceps, and anterior deltoids.

Leg Circles (with feet in straps on the Reformer) are a favorite way to strengthen the ‘ball and socket’ hip joints. Leg Circles focus on even, balanced circumduction ROM of the femur bone in the pelvis. Abdominals (anterior muscles of the spine) are engaged throughout to keep the pelvis stable!!

Nice spinal mobility demonstrated by this crew! It’s so important to maintain spinal mobility, core strength, and flexibility as we age. Pilates is a full body practice that helps improve postural balance, build core strength, improve flexibility and proper joint mobility, while developing mind body awareness.

Sometimes, it’s good to start at the bottom and work your way up! Here’s a reminder to get your Foot Work in........to strengthen not only the glutes, quads, hamstrings, adductors (inner thighs), and core, but the intrinsic muscles of the FEET, too! Good Posture starts with good foot/ankle alignment, strength, and balance, and goes upward to the knees, pelvis, rib cage, shoulders, neck and head.

Nice control of movement practicing Tree which focuses on strengthening the abdominals and articulating the spine in flexion and extension. Be kind to your spine.

Using the Extension Straps on the Reformer to strengthen the muscles that support the HIP and KNEE JOINTS in this side lying footwork series. The 1st set (external hip rotation), targets the deep lateral rotators including the pirifomis, and the 2nd set (high half toe position) targets the stabilizers of the knee. The ‘extension straps’ and ‘spring’ resistance on the Reformers assist in proper joint alignment and muscle activation WITHOUT compressing the joints.
