Leg pull is the pits!

I got to be apart of someones one hundredth class today. I heard about how pilates has changed her life and how she managed to avoid knee surgery. And the win is that we get to do this!

We doing the Rise of Six challenge in studio and people are collecting those badges. There are wins all around!

Ha ha ha 😂

@Kirsten Glyn-Cuthbert They lift because the hip flexors want to help the abdominals. So the antidote is trying to strengthen the abdominals without triggering the hip flexors to engage. TRY THESE OPTIONS - You can reverse the exercises by doing eccentric lowering of the trunk to the mat very slowly (possible with a dumbell in your hands to help you get back up). - Try dorsiflexing the feet to encourage the heel to ground connection. - Do the roll up on the reformer heels on the foot bar and springs on a yellow or blue. You feel the middle needs the intervention but the poor feet look the villain. This version makes you face reality. - Do crunches with one leg long along the mat to pull the pelvis into neutral so that you stop tucking the tail in abdominal exercises. - I would practice Teaser Prep over and over again. Game changer strengthening and control exercise. - Strengthen hip extension to anchor down the legs better. Things like pelvic curl, donkey kicks and deadlifts will help. ENJOY the process :D

@Deline Wallace There yes or into your hands 🤪
