In this Pilates Mini Flows class, we’ll focus on upper body and core. In particular, the building blocks of a strong push up: shoulder stability and mobility work, core, chest, mid back.
Watch a quick preview of class here: • Upper body and core Pi...
EQUIPMENT NEEDED:
-Long resistance band/theraband amzn.to/3yg830Z
In this class, we start with a quick warm up focused on mobility. We then move onto our mini flows workout. The best way to describe this structure is to picture a Pilates mat class. We essentially take a small sequence out of that class and turn it into a circuit.
Each of the two mini flows is a short sequence (3-3:30 minutes long). You rest for 30 seconds in between completed sequences, and will complete 2 sets.
Between the two flows, you get a little over a minute to recover, but pause the video and take more time if needed. Always listen to your body, modifying or stopping as needed.
We finish class with a guided cool down and stretch.
