Pilates Fit For All

Happy International Pilates Day!

A staple in the Pilates regimen. The bridge. This is the opposite position of what you look like when you are sitting. If you sit a lot this would do wonders for you. To perform this exercise lie on your back with knees bent and your feet placed hip distance apart on the floor. Take a deep breath in and as you breathe out lift your hips off the floor until shoulders hips and knees are in a straight line, being sure glutes are activated as well as hamstrings. "Squeeze those cheeks!" As you breathe in lower your hips to the floor. Repeat approximately 8 times.
