Pilates ring exercises
Before we get to the Tensor Fascia Latae(TLF) muscles next week, let’s focus on the inner thighs, outer hips, core, and glute muscles with no jumping required because this muscle group gives lots of support to the hips mechanic and help with balance for:
- Walking
- Running and all the climbing activities
They also support core work, like when you do
- Plank,
- Pushups,
- Side sit-ups,
- The hundreds,
- The five abdominal series.
When you exercise your pelvis before any procedure, you reduce post-surgery pain and recover much faster. @jeaniquepilates
When doing those exercises, you also speed up your connections for doing one-legged exercises on the Chair Equipment, Reformer, and Tower.
Remember always to wrap, squeeze, lift and connect
And if you find that difficult to do, we have the Pilates ring.
The Pilates ring, a.k.a magic circle, is one of the most accessible accessories to have in your home. It will help you feel those muscles tough dormant muscles of the inner thighs and lower belly.
The combinations that you can do with the magic circle are endless.
I have also added a new exercise today, which I call the mat version Fencer exercise, don’t forget to try it.
And one more thing, if you plan to do any surgery involving your hips or plan to get pregnant, this is the workout for you. When you exercise your pelvis before any procedure, you reduce post-surgery pain and recover much faster.
Please add these exercises to your routine for at least 3 to 6 months.
Today I am covering 30 exercises in 40mins for a full body workout but with the main focus on strengthening all the muscles of the pelvis and core.
Let me know your favorite ones once you’re done.
