There is a logic to the exercises that belong to the classic Pilates series, which is a bodyweight workout. The addition of small props can add some purposeful resistance to these targeted core exercises.
In the first segment, experience weighted crunches and roll-ups to help you to focus on the weaker portions of your range. The Pilates ring will be used to increase resistance for the hips and core stabilizers.
In the next segment, we will work on some standing exercises for hip and shoulder involvement using the ring. The dumbbells will begin to target back and shoulder muscles in some extension work.
We will finish in a sidelying position to directly target the lateral flexors of the spine as well as hip abductors and some ring exercises in quadruped. (Note: this may be done standing with a chair for those who cannot kneel on the ground)
