Pilates exercise for core stability and switching off over-active hip flexors

Pilates exercise for core stability and switching off over-active hip flexors. . I can do this anywhere as it simply needs a theraband and 2 slightly deflated balls-one for under my bottom and the other for between my calves. . . . . .

Not very good at this ‘bear crawl’ fitness exercise

Not very good at this 'bear crawl' fitness exercise. At least I tried my best! What a meany trainer! @sportsperformance86 ha! ha! This was at the end of 20 mins HIIT boxing workout and then doing these bear crawls up and down the garden 4 x over. So maybe that could be why I look so rubbish at this? . . . . .

Wednesday pilates

Wednesday pilates. Reformer exercise for posture, control, balance and flexibility. The control needed to stabilise and move the reformer slowly in and out smoothly engages so many muscles. Core, tummy, glutes, hamstrings, abductors, calf muscles.... . . . . .

Waking up the glutes

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. Repetitions increase daily. The instructions are in the video voice-over together with my actions. With thanks to Tessa @bh_beyondhealth
