Ok, this is my new favorite exercise! As you know, I go through these stages where I latch onto an exercise and showcase it in all my classes. This one I have been using in my Pilates on the Ball Class, My Barre class and my Mat class. I’m still trying to figure out how to incorporate it onto the Reformer, so be prepared!
This exercise tones your glutes (booty) and your obliques and your low back muscles.
Do 10 reps of each of the 5 variations then switch legs. Repeat. Perform 2-3 sets total on both legs.
If your knees are not so hot and it’s hard to sit in this position, then do the exercises standing up at a ballet barre or holding onto a wall for balance.
It’s a hard exercise! If you find that you cramp up while doing it, just do the variations that don’t make you cramp until you get a bit stronger. Then gradually work your way up to doing all the variations.
Sculpt your way to a toner tush and whittle away any love handles or back flab in no time! 🙂
