Leg Lengthening

A great exercise for strengthening the muscles of the back and increasing spinal mobility.


Filmed at Hurst Pilates, April 21st. I'm *really* pleased with the quality, my new iMac and camera have paid off! I just need to sort out a better place for the camera so that I don't have Debra and Yvonne's heads in frame! Oh, and I should spend a little more time on editing. . . .

Pilates Tricep Press Up ~ at last!

I've been struggling to get my head around Tricep press ups for some time, usually I have a bash at it, it doesn't feel right and I give up!

Today I have been going through the video files on my old computer, deciding what to keep and what to move to my lovely new iMac. I found this video of Cherry Baker demo'ing the perfect Pilates tricep press up, it's a teacher training video so you only see a couple of reps but it was enough for me to see where I was going wrong.

I'm looking forward to sharing this with my classes soon, planning to do it in every class, apart from Aqua!
