Video 635 | Pilates for Low Back (30 mins) with Lauren Eirk

09-Dec-2024
This Pilates workout offers a solution to lower back pain using bodyweight and the Pilates "Magic Circle", or Ring. We will begin warming up on all fours (you can also stand with your hands on a chair), to establish the breathing connection to your spine and rib cage. As we move to supine, we will use the ring to resist common Pilates motions, like knee-to-chest, crunches, table-top, leg raises, and bridges. The ring will help you to engage the core and deep core in every exercise!
Finally, in our side-lying series, work the hips and lateral flexors of the spine. Add some challenge to crunches and prone backbends. We complete the workout with standing hip work and plank variations to enhance surrounding musculature of the lower back. This holistic low back workout will make you feel stronger, more stable, and supported in your lower back!
