@pilates.by.cat: Save this for a runway ready body✨ After 20 years teaching Pilates, this is one of my favourite ways to train the entire body at once 🤍 The foam roller helps place the pelvis in a neutral position, which is where the deep core can switch on most effectively. When this deep stabilising system is working well, it flatten the stomach and pull the waist in from the inside out, like a natural corset ✨ As the legs move away from the body, the deep core has to work harder to keep the pelvis stable, while the hand weights tone the arms and shoulders for that long, lean Pilates look. The elevated legs also help recruit the inner thighs and lower abdominals while encouraging circulation through the legs. It’s one of the reasons I love using this exercise when the goal is a flatter stomach, toned arms and lean, runway-ready legs. Simple. Effective. Full body. Try this: ✨ Full Star x12 ✨ Circles x12 each direction ✨ Scissor Reach x12 🔥 Complete 4 rounds Think: 🤎 Keep the pelvis stable 🤎 Draw the ribs in softly 🤎 Reach long through the legs 🤎 Exhale as the legs move away Move slowly and focus on control. The slower you go, the harder the deep core has to work. Results: ✨ Flat stomach ✨ Lean legs ✨ Toned arms ✨ Strong deep core No gym. No reformer. Just smart Pilates that works 🤍 Save this for your next workout and follow for Pilates that actually works ✨ #pilates #matpilates #deepcore #lowerabs #leanlegs
