Articulate Bodies

March Matness 2024

Last spin the Pilates mat exercise wheel 🛞! I hope you enjoyed following our 31 days of video post as much as we did creating them and reflecting on the exercises we got from the draw. Let us know what you might like to see us post in the next month.

Day 31 - Side Twist with Je-an
“I really enjoy performing this movement because of the spiral 🌀 aspect that comes from my pelvis, hips and legs all the way up to my spine with rotation and even to my supporting arm 😍. I imagine that I’m a top being cranked to the opposite direction ↩️ going up, before letting go to allow the spin to happen going the other direction ↪️ which is when I’m coming down to starting position.”

Day 30 - Double Leg Kick with Rie
“This is a very hard exercise. First I couldn’t connect with back and hip extensors at all. Now I feel more connection in my body which is amazing developments!!”

Day 26 - Leg Pull Prone & Leg Pull Supine with Tomoe
“With Leg Pull Prone, I find it strengthens hip extensors and shoulder girdle which I’m working on. I have to stabilize my trunk and pelvis for a smooth movement.
For Leg Pull Supine, I have to focus on my back muscles and abdominals for the support of my upper body as I work on the strength of my hip flexors. Both of these exercises are challenging for my upper body. “

Day 24 - Swan 🦢 Dive with Rie
“Swan dive is a fun exercise just like rolling like a ball - though opposite spinal mechanics. I am trying to explore my body how much I can control with this dynamic movement. I am still struggling with my pelvis stability as my pelvis is rotating when diving.”
