Express Pilates workout – Core
This is a short workout focusing on our core muscle strength and control
- Difficulty: Moderate
- Length: 15 minutes
The class works on movements in four-point kneeling and onto our backs on the mat. Please always work to a level that you feel safe and comfortable to do, especially on the more challenge movements.
This class includes:
- Sitting – bow and arrow stretch and side bend
- Four-point kneeling swimming
- Modified leg pull in prone prep
- Child pose
- One leg stretch
- Bridge with leg extension
- Dead bug
- Rotation stretch
- Sitting toy soldier stretch
The class begins in sitting with a bow and arrow and side bend stretches to mobilise the upper body. We then move into four-point kneeling and challenge our core control with a swimming movement and strength with a modified leg pull in prone prep movement.
Continuing the class down onto our backs we engage our core further with a one leg stretch and bridge exercises. We then challenge our core control a little more with a dead bug movement before gently mobilising the spine with a rotation stretch. Finishing the class in sitting with a toy solider arm stretch.
