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!

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.
