First is flexible Morgan. A big part of pilates is developing a flexible spine.
In this one, I look like I'm sitting. I'm not!! I'm holding myself up, it's really hard, look closer!!
Part two of this movement, more work on spinal flexiblity. In this exercise, there's a lot of arm work, but it's also about being able to move the pelvis.
Both of us still doing the same exercises.
I'm finally taking a break. I plopped back onto the bar as you can see from my hair. I am having how the pelvis is supposed to be when I come into the bar demonstrated to me ... butt sticks out.
Now my turn to teach.
How tall is Nancy?
Adam got in on the fun!! He's going to try the exercise Morgan was working on.
A great psoas stretch!! If you don't know where your psoas is, come see us and we'll show you how to stretch it.
Ha, Adam finally understands how to get into position to start the exercise! I bet he's glad he stopped in after his mat class to see how we were doing! "Quick!! Come here! We need another body to practice on!!!"
And, back to, "How tall is Nancy?"
Still not sure, how tall is she?
Morgan's healthy lunch.
My healthy lunch. I'm really into brussel sprouts lately. Weird, huh?
Thanks for reading our blog and checking out the pictures from our weekend!!

Thank you for your comment, Suzie. The way classical pilates is done, you move on from few reps of one exercise onto the next movement in a seamless sequence that works the whole body. It's a very efficient exercise program because it's not in the form of reps, sets, and rest, rather you flow from one movement to the next the entire time.
