The 4 movements of the spine
This summer I’ve put together my 3rd Annual Summer Pilates Challenge, I think we can now say it has officially become a tradition.
Le thème de cette année est “les 4 mouvements de la colonne vertébrale” : flexion, extension, courbe latérale et torsion/twist.
In the first portion of this Challenge there is a series of “cats” that serve as a warm-up and also a moment to observe your body, your spine in particular. This part is completely adapted for beginners, pregnant women and children.
The second more “challenging” and more “classical” portion includes a concentration on abdominal work with a continued observation of the positioning of the spine. The sidekicks are included to help improve rotation and mobility in the hip joint (also appropriate for beginners and pregnant women). To conclude there is a more challenging exercise, Leg Pull Front, which is a logical progression from the series of cats and our Spring Pilates Plank Challenge 2016.
Enjoy this 3rd Summer Pilates Challenge!
