@chrissiglow: Want a stronger core? You don’t need to do endless crunches. Try adding controlled Pilates movements that challenge your core to stay steady as your legs move. Save this sequence for your next mat day: ✨ Toe taps — 3 × 12 ✨ Mermaid kicks — 3 × 12 ✨ Scissors — 3 × 12 ✨ Half candle — 3 × 12 ✨ Draw a circle — 3 × 10 Keep your movement slow and controlled, and focus on keeping your ribs relaxed and your core gently engaged. Let your legs move only as far as you can while staying comfortable through your back. You can always bend your knees or make the range smaller. The foam roller adds an extra balance challenge. If it feels uncomfortable or unstable, try the moves on your mat without it. Save this for your next workout and send it to a friend who loves a good Pilates burn 🤍
