Waking up the glutes
When in rehab after a knee ligaments injury and little or no exercise for weeks- it’s best to get the basic core strength muscles activated before launching back into the same advanced levels of exercise as before.

reformer pilates
Back to the pilates reformer this week

Back to the Pilates studio Slow controlled movements may seem boring but are the most effective
Being able to isolate muscle groups and make each lot work better takes lots of practice.
Good Morning Monday #workout Reverse walking lunges whilst punching with weighted balls
This is supposed to be a flowing sequence movement. But in my case doesn’t seem to be! It’s very hard to keep balanced. I”m doing my best but as they say -could do better! The dog @misslucy_lou isn’t feeling it either as you can hear from her tone of voice.
