@pilateswithlammy: Surprised this isn’t spoken about more 👀 And no, this isn’t a pointless, overly-picky Pilates detail 😂 it’s a safety cue. For most exercises where your hands are bearing weight on the footbar, keep your thumb + fingers together rather than wrapping your thumb around the bar. This helps prevent gripping and pulling on the footbar. It’s a cue so often!!! Because technique matters. The little details make a difference.

how do you cue that?

Chloé | SII et Anxiété ✨ :

I always tell my students they can chose. I tell them that thumbs on the same side as the fingers is best for the wrists but if they sweat to much they can keep thumbs on the other side.

One of my students told me last week she liked facing footbar over many of the other types of planks we do. Felt more secure and less pressure than hands on the box / mat.
