Planks

This week, we will be working on the second half of Joseph Pilates' classic mat routine. This involves a lot of Planking. We will be building up into the different plank positions going from easier to more difficult. Don't be a hero! Work at your own pace and in your own comfort level. The goal of this workshop is to present the different options in plank positions so that you can modify as you need/want to.


















Front Plank Progression-
1. Quadraped- We'll be working on "Bulldogging our elbows under" and Serratus (Armpit) engagement
2. Quadreped Bracing- New- I found it- looks good
3. Elbow Plank
4. Full Plank











Please remember to try to allocate you weight evenly between your hands and feet.
I'll try to get a post up about the other planks ASAP- looking for good images.















I call this a Supine Plank- we only do it for leg pulls to the front
The easier position is seated- then lift one leg- we did it last week with flexed and pointed feet.
