Are you pulling my leg?😂⁣
⁣
This standing reformer series felt like it needed a title so there you have it.⁣
⁣
Try this if you like to feel your ✅ARMS💪✅GLUTES 🍑and ✅CORE🍎. Or just try if you are like me and the box is on the reformer and taking it off feels like too much work!⁣
⁣
The breakdown👇⁣
⁣
Use a 💛yellow spring and best practice to take the ropes and handles down so you don’t trip stepping into the well and so you don’t hit the ropes.⁣
🔹Lateral lean with leg at hip height. Bent elbow to draw box towards you then straighten as you push away.⁣
🔹Add a leg lift as you push box away and lower as you come in. Elbow is soft.⁣
🔹With a straight arm bring box towards body and swing leg forward then side.⁣
🔑Keep leg high enough you don’t hit the risers.⁣
🔹Bend elbow and pull carriage towards your body and lean into it. Rotate upper body and bring top leg towards the top arm while keeping box close.⁣
🔹Take top leg into a parallel table top and as you draw carriage in with bent elbow, rotate to an arabesque while leaning into arm.⁣
🔑Major triceps!⁣
🔹Square body off to box and take leg outside of the frame towards the foot bar. As you pull carriage do a tricep push up leaning forward and and swing leg back to arabesque. On the return hold the leg up into your abs.⁣
⁣
👉Like this series and try it out! I love to hear how it goes.⁣

👀Unless you have eyes in the top of your head it’s a challenge to figure out how hard to jump to catch the rails. Once there hang on tight!⁣
⁣
💪🍎This ARM + AB series is done on the reformer box with one 🔹spring⁣
⁣
🔑The key here is to stabilize your arms and core and move from that place.⁣
🔑My head is on the box resting so my neck doesn’t feel like it is working unnecessarily.⁣
⁣
The moves 👇⁣
🔹Leg circles with both arms bent and stable.⁣
🔹Scissor legs with unilateral bent arm hold.⁣
🔹Alternating arm and leg switches⁣
⁣
🙄As for the dismount....⁣
Let’s just say it went smoothly. I hope you enjoy this and try it out. Please join me and @cb.fitpilates with your FUNCTIONALFITPILATES moves!⁣

Has anyone ever asked you why it’s called the “magic” circle? I want to say it’s because you will magically feel connected in ways you typically don’t when squeezing a ring against body parts that don’t typically have something placed there 😜⁣

One of the most underutilized “props” in Pilat

One of the most underutilized “props” in Pilates in my opinion is the wall. Combine that with the magic circle and you have endless options for building whole body strength and stability. ⁣
Swipe left for one of my favorite exercises to do this using the magic circle. ⁣

October is🌸BREAST CANCER AWARENESS🌸month and

October is🌸BREAST CANCER AWARENESS🌸month and I am honored to join @carriespilates as she shares post-operative exercises, based on the Pink Ribbon Program which was designed to enhance recovery⁣
⁣
📍Exercise is an important part of the treatment for, and recovery from Breast Cancer and these exercises are aimed to help restore movement on your affected side and shoulder⁣
📍Importantly, they also help improve functional ability in day to day activities ⚠️Depending on the surgery, some of these exercises may be more suitable than others. It is always important to get the go ahead to exercise from a Doctor and go at your own pace - Aim for 3-4 reps of each⁣
⁣
HIP SWIVEL AND KNEE DROPS - Today's focus remains with core strength and stability, but with this one, you’ll also get a core stretch ****************************⁣
These first slides are the reformer variations to compliment Carrie who you will see as the last slide. ⁣
⁣
🔹Arms in straps, feet relaxed on frame. Rock side to side paying attention to opening the shoulders and chest ⁣
🔹Knees in a tabletop and hands reach through the straps and hold up onto the ropes. Try to keep chest open and elbows down on the sides of the frame as you rock side to side.⁣
🔹Knees in a tabletop and arms in tension. Work towards stable shoulders with a mobile spine. Keep weight light like one red spring.⁣
🔹Hands holding shoulder blocks and legs are straight. Tick tock the legs and press back of arms into the carriage and frame.⁣
⁣
⁣
💗Please join Carrie and join me and the @pikesforpink team through the month with your own variations, progressions, or adaptation of these exercises.Please use @carriespilates and #breastcancerrehab and we can share our knowledge⁣
***********************************⁣
If you're in need of support following a Breast Cancer diagnosis, be sure to look up @breastcancernow - a British charity working to support men and women diagnosed with Breast Cancer. Fundraising activities and opportunities have been significantly impacted by the Pandemic and lack of funds means lack of research into a cure. If you can donate, please find the link in their bio. Thank you xx⁣

BRAIN 🧠 + BODY = ✨✨✨⁣ ⁣ Last week one

BRAIN 🧠 + BODY = ✨✨✨⁣
⁣
Last week one of my clients suffered 4 mini strokes. I’ve worked with clients post stroke before and always try to give them movements that work their brain and make them using opposing sides of their bodies.⁣
⁣
👉These are variations on the classical pilates movement coordination and I have taken liberty to change it up to suit both my needs and my clients.⁣
⁣
Try these options:⁣
🔹Regular coordination - arms and legs out; open and close the legs; bend the knees and then arms and head lowers.⁣
⁣
🔹Same but open one leg to the side then bend and close to lower.⁣
⁣
🔹Alternate legs to side then bend and lower.⁣
⁣
🔹Single leg circles ⁣
⁣
🔹All together head up if you can.⁣
⁣
⚠️Please note: this isn’t for all clients and all post stroke. Just a sample of brain and body work that is helpful.⁣
⁣
💗This month @cb.fitpilates and I are focusing on Functional Core moves for FUNCTIONALFITPILATES and we hope you join and share your ideas!⁣
