A couple of weeks into phase 2 we begin diving into the 'good stuff' aka progressive pilates exercises for the core, pelvic floor, upper and lower body. Between week 8-12 (Stage 5) we add heavier resistance, add more moving parts to our core exercises and challenge our control in a variety of positions.
Core progressions seen in this stage glute bridges on a step, weighted arm work in table top, and heavy leg resistance work in standing. This is a heavy lower body session, although no direct core exercises in this a video a significnat amount of load will transfer to the core through functional resisted movements.
For more detailed training on Pelvic Floor and Core contractions see our two videos on "The Pelvic Floor" and "The Core'.
