Back in the pilates studio This exercise engages core, helps spinal mobility, hip flexors, balance, gluteals and flexibility
It is much harder than it looks as it also requires the reformer to be held out and stay in place and still whilst bending over and twisting

The bestest fun day! A very sweaty no-makeup photo after 1-1/2 hour hip hop dance class with @WolgangMwanje at Ventnor Winter Gardens IoW
I was easily the oldest there by about 30 years at 62! Think I held my own and did my best. Most importantly I enjoyed every minute. Never care what others think of you if you’re doing something just for you and not hurting anyone else. Dance is so uplifting.
Training morning Feeling very slow today Even @misslucy_lou looks bored Maybe the music shpuld have been more lively and energising
This exercise is for balance, stability, core, glutes, hip flexors, quads #

Tryig to keep body line as straight as possible, engaging core and glutes. Can’t hold for long as lack of strength in damaged shoulder rotator cuff which is still being treeated by physio to strengthen surrounding support muscles. Its taking a long time. #

Now for the abs. Struggling a bit and the dog still not too impressed… Engaging the core, using the lower abs, rising and lowering with a straight back with as much control as possible. Also using glutes, hip flexors and quads. (I think) @misslucy_lou
