PILATES FOR BEGINNERS 1 - tabletop, side-lying & C-curve explained

Pilates basics class number 1: Finding your core activation in tabletop, side-lying, and on the back of the body + C-curve (the Pilates roll-up) explained. This class is all about finding control while we slowly move through the exercises. Choose your option, challenge yourself, but try to master the first option first before moving on to the next one. Take care and do only as many repetitions as you feel you can control the movement, without overcompensating from your lower back. 00:20 Pilates stance 02:03 Core activation with balancing 4:53 Spine and core warm up 11:01 Tabletop explanation, putting weight onto your wrists 14:37 Test your tabletop 17:59 Challenging your core in tabletop 20:18 Core activation in side-lying + glute med work 30:49 Pilates roll-up 36:16 Crunches with control 38:16 Pilates hundreds Follow me on Instagram: @calm_and_fit Jenna
