✨Holy Hip Flexors✨
👉Part 1 of 2

As part of FUNCTIONALFITPILATES we strengthen and stretch our hip flexors.

The exercise Stomach Massage is excellent for strengthening the low back,learning to sit up tall and getting deep hip flexion however I can't help but spice it up.

🔵I've added the mini ball here to help access the adductor muscles and to challenge foot and ankle stability.

🔑Use either one blue or one red spring and a lower bar.
🔑Connect your foot to the ball, but press from your pelvic floor up - basically do not have heavy feet!

💕My goal is always to look at movements a little differently and see how small changes can improve the way we perform. I hope you give these a try!

Join me and @cb.fitpilates each week as we continue to explore #functionalfitpilates in our practices.

✨Reverse Planking Does anyone else only do thes

✨Reverse Planking

Does anyone else only do these periodically and then remember why you love them so much?

👉The base move of the pedal lifting and lowering feels amazing on the shoulders and opens up the chest.
🔑Keep your weight reasonable at one or two up from the bottom.

👉Begin with modified knees bent as hips lift.
🔑Sit tall during arm press.

👉One knee bent, one straight then lift and lower the straight leg.
🔑This is a good modification for knee hyper extenders.

👉Both legs straight with alternating leg lifts.
🔑I'm a hyper extender so turn out feels better than parallel legs.

Aim for 10 of all these. It's a lot of shoulder, but feels great for those of us who spend too much time on computers!

💗Let me know how these feel!

Fitness💥Bands💥Friday featuring the @_flexnow Flex Cords

Have you tried the Flex Cords yet?

I love attaching the 24" cord to my reformer and then clipping the cord into their new FlexM Bar because I don't have to worry they will snap and smack me upside the head!

I have enough accidents in my home for example a box impaled my face last week when it fell of the shelf as I was reaching for something 😱 My face can only handle so much and getting nailed with a band is not what I am here for!!!

👉Get special pricing on the Flex Mvmt products with my code jill20

🔑When you try these moves keep your reformer on a red.
🔑Reach into the cord and bar and maintain the resistance.
🔑Push yourself to press further!

💗Your abs and arms will thank you for this series - your clients may not be as thrilled!

"Never look backwards or you'll fall down the stairs" - Rudyard Kipling

Keep your gaze straight ahead as you pull your body backwards on the reformer.

👉Still using a blue spring and still going with this box workout.
🔑Lean far enough back you feel connected to the box.
🔑Watch your fingers on the rails as you move.
🔑Combine with the last few days of exercises!

💗I hope you liked this series! Let me know if you tried any of it!
I loved seeing what @elbapilatesstudio did with it so please check her out.

Inner Thighs - PILATES DIRTY LITTLE SECRET 👉It

Inner Thighs - PILATES DIRTY LITTLE SECRET

👉It's no secret that Pilates strengthens your pelvic floor, makes you move with more confidence and improves flexibility. But why aren't we talking about how that improves your SEX Life?

👉Join me and @thichapilates this month to explore the ways Pilates can improve your pleasure whether it's with a partner or just in your daily practice.

💫Week 2 INNER THIGHS

Your inner thighs help improve core strength. In my Pilates practice I use everything available to me to strengthen them and here are some ideas:

1️⃣ Wunda Chair + Mini Ball
Try side lunges to balance and draw the ball up the inside line of your leg.

2️⃣ Pilates Cadillac
Side lying leg spring variations

3️⃣ Reformer
Side splits on a light weight. "Gathering flowers" and lunges

4️⃣ Pilates Mat + Magic Circle
Place the circle at your knees and connect those inner legs up into your core.

5️⃣ FITSPRINGS @fitsprings
My absolute favorite way to activate the pelvic floor is this second position squat series pressing into the springs.
👉This is my dream to see our work become more functional and the FitSprings is the manifestation of that dream. To learn more see 🔗in my bio.

Feel free to join #pilatesdirtylittlesecret with any variations you like and tag us!

👉Lunges and squats are a necessary part of any FUNCTIONALFITPILATES routine and this series is for the advanced practitioner.

🔑Use a blue spring
🔑Move slowly and deliberately
🔑Keep your leg connected to the box which will help your alignment and give your hips that extra burn.

Moving on 🆙

Meaning scoot your reformer box up either to the end or midway for this next set of moves.

👉In the first three slides your shoulders are in line with the bar and the box.
🔑This placement helps you connect into your shoulder girdle and upper abs.

👉Adjust the box back a bit and allow for greater ranges of rotation and for your shoulders.
🔑Make the last ones into a reward for the hard work you did before.

💗Community Love for #pilatesismagic theme of "upper body" hosted by @zaynagold @judytamspilates

👍Combine this with yesterday's moves and let me know how it feels! When I play around with ideas my goal is to push myself and to inspire others to look at your movements through a fresh lens. I hope you enjoy!

3 ways to drop it like it's hot:

👉Setup your box in short position, low bar and I 🔹spring

1️⃣Cross back leg behind front knee and hold bar with upper body in rotation.
2️⃣ Use one arm and press out then rotate in and push hips back.
3️⃣ Diagonal bird dog into a dip and twist.

Try something new and do 15 of each. These were burning 🔥 like crazy!

💗My reformer and I had a play date and we have lots to share over the next few days. I hope it gives you ideas for your workouts next week.

🍎💪FITNESSBANDSFRIDAY ABS +ARMS

How much love do we have for this @ikeausa stool that doubles as Pilates equipment?

Adding a fitness band to core exercises amplifies the intensity.

👉Try this at home using a chair or stool!

🔑Be mindful of how the added resistance makes your neck feel and feel free to rest between each movement.

🐸Frog Legs

Need some hip exercise ideas using the wunda chair?

👉Try these leg presses keeping your legs in a frog bend.

🔑The weight needs to be on the lighter side so I use one spring second or 3 from the bottom.

👉Keep the external rotation and root your sacrum as you move the legs - except in the bridge you can lift!

👉Add the parallel versions and you have a nice little leg sequence to go to!

💗Hope these feel great!!
