Pilates Reformer – Transferring the Spring into the Sacrum and the Spine

admin — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 07:46:40 +0000

The foot work on the Pilates reformer isn’t merely for the feet – or even just for the feet and legs. When Backbone and Wingspan Universal Principles of Movement are applied to the Pilates exercises, and the client is given instruction with keen imagery and guided with sensitive hands-on, the springs (which are usually thought of and utilized as resistance) on the pilates reformer become resilience tools to convey to the muscular and skeletal and joint system the body’s own capacity for resilience.

At Home Workouts: Express Pilates Mat Exercises

admin — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 23:30:15 +0000

http://www.mindbites.com/lesson/1476-at-home-workouts-express-pilates-mat-exercises

Jessie, from Workouts on Demand, takes you through an express pilates mat workout. This workout routine is for abdominal strength and lower back flexibility, and takes less than ten minutes.

You will start with the Pilates scoop in a small motion, just rounding the lower back. This movement will get progressively larger, rolling back onto the mat and then back up, until you are rolling all the way down, one vertebrae at a time. Then you will bring your knees to your chest and roll like a ball back into a sitting position. This will progress into rolling all the way down and then curling back up, almost like a sit up. The express exercise will end with the Cat & Cow stretch, where you arch and then dip your back from a position on your hands and knees, and then a final Shell stretch.

This lesson is part of a subscription-based fitness video collection available from Workouts on Demand. For more information on this and other lessons, check out www.workoutsondemand.com.
