Up the ab intensity with this core Pilates sequence 🩵

1. Ribcage Closure & Curl Up with alternate Single Knee Fold - get your abs working as you combine these two familiar exercises, engaging through the core as you curl up and bring the knee in. Hold the band with a bit of tension between your hands to help your proprioception and activate your arms and shoulders.
2. Double Arm Flies with the band and alternate Knee Openings - your aim is to maintain a stable torso and pelvis as you alternate knee openings whilst pulling the band apart.
3. Single Leg Stretch into the band with Curl Up and wide arms - working to maintain a flexed spine and neck whilst pressing your legs into the band alternately will really engage your abs.
4. Double Leg Stretch into the band in a Curl Up with wide arms - less coordination challenge than no. 3 but more resistance from the band!
5. Criss Cross - a firm favourite that asks you to coordinate the movement of your legs whilst simultaneously rotating your spine and neck.

Seven Pilates exercises to do when you don’t feel like moving.

When you’ve not practised Pilates for a while, diving back into it can be scary. Here are seven simple exercises to try that will get you moving, kickstart your confidence, and help you feel that movement is medicine.

1. Pilates Squats and Ribcage Closure - working on lower body alignment, spinal stability and a fab way to get your legs working.
2. Pole Raises with the band - lovely for shoulder mobility
3. Side Reach with hands behind your head - open out the side body and find space between your ribs.
4. Roll Downs with hands behind your head - adding an extra layer of challenge with your arms raised. Gorgeous for spinal mobility and spinal extension.
5. Bow & Arrow in split stance - level up a staple Pilates exercise with a split stance to challenge your stability, alignment and rotation skills.
6. Standing Speedy Warm-Up - challenge your balance and coordination with this simple exercise.
7. Split Stance Hinges - discover how tight you really feel 😆

I have some exciting news to share with you all. After 9 years and 3 months of balancing teaching alongside my other business, I’ve recently taken the plunge; I am officially a full-time Pilates teacher!

Teaching and exploring movement with you has been my true passion, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to be able to devote my time and energy to Shoreline Pilates. There’s nothing more rewarding than to see my clients overcome challenges or improve their health, with my support.

I am so grateful for your support during my journey!

Thank you SO much to everyone who sponsored me in my #themay50k running challenge in support of @mssocietyuk. I’m delighted to have run a total of 111km, and raised a fantastic total of £2,284 (and an additional £421.03 in Gift Aid).

It’s been amazing to have received your support, and opened up the conversation about MS - which has touched many ofyour lives. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
