We are starting here because we have 5 workouts to enjoy this week and this one totally sets the foundation. 'Engage the core' is something you will hear a lot in Pilates but its more complex than it first sounds to actually feel. this workout helps define what it it and what it feels like in the body and then we piece that together with foundational movement. A great intro to core work or a great reminder if you've been with me for a while.

This workout really gets into those triceps - i felt it big time! At the same time, we get really nice breaks of mobility for the spine in this session so its not all burn, its controlled strength and mobility wrapped up into one. I surprised myself with how hard this felt, but at the same time, i felt REALLY good after - i hope you feel the same x

Hip strength and mobility is hard because most of us have either weak or tight (or both) hips. This workout really focuses on strengthening and mobilising the hips through controlled mobility. You may not find this workout very easy, but I promise your hips will thank you after x

I think the ball is the best piece of equipment to really get into those deep abs. When we apply pressure the core HAS to switch on to keep the body in that same position and so whether you like it or not, it's forcing amazing core activation and control.

This class is a great reminder of how powerful the use of the mini ball can be for activation of the deep core and inner thighs. We start by resetting our breathwork, grounding ourselves into this session, before getting stuck into some controlled strength.
