February Milestone Recap!💙 Can you believe we’re already half way through March?!🍀🌸

Finish strong! The Pilates Push-Up differs from a regular push-up by emphasizing controlled and precise movements. In Pilates, the focus is on engaging the core and maintaining proper alignment, resulting in a more deliberate and challenging exercise that targets not only the upper body, but also enhances overall body awareness and control. In Pilates, we also typically start and end from a standing position for the full execution of the exercise.

Feel the burn with everybody's favorite - the Plank! From a straight-arm plank position, maintain a strong, straight line from head to heels, activating your abdominal muscles for a powerful and effective exercise that builds both stability and endurance. The Pilates Plank is the foundation for a resilient and centered core.

The name is slightly deceiving with today's Pilates movement - the Thigh Stretch. While it does provide a stretch to the front of the thighs, or the quadriceps, you have to actively engage the entire posterior chain as you flow through the movement!

Challenge your core stability with Bird Dog! Beginning in a four point kneeling position, extend the opposite leg and arm while keeping the core steady. See how long you can hold this position without moving side to side!

Unleash your inner sparkle with the Pilates Star! This challenging side plank will definitely have your core shaking. Try to stabilize through your powerhouse as much as possible in order to keep that star form strong! Comment ⭐️ if you're feeling like a star today!

Experience a graceful stretch and strengthen your lateral muscles today with the Pilates Side Bend! From a seated or kneeling position, reach one arm overhead and gently bend upwards and to the side, engaging your core for stability and enhancing your flexibility.

Time for an elevated challenge! Kick into strength and flexibility with the Kneeling Side Kick! From a kneeling position, extend one leg to the side, engaging your core for stability and targeting your outer hip muscles, creating a powerful exercise that sculpts and tones.

Leveling up with our Leg Pull Back! Seated with legs extended, press into the hands (careful not the lock the elbows) and lift the hips off the mat. Lift and switch each leg off the mat in a controlled motion, engaging your core and building both strength and stability for a dynamic and empowering workout.

In this dynamic plank-style movement, extend one leg at a time and point, flex, point the feet as you engage your core for a challenging and effective full-body workout. Leg pull front not only targets your abdominals and arms but also cultivates balance and stability, leaving you with a strong and centered foundation.

Dive into a dynamic Pilates flow with today's move - Swimming! While lying prone, lift opposite arm and leg off the mat in a fluttering motion, improving spinal alignment, strength and flexibility through extension.
