Quarantine Quest: Swimming

4/25/2020

Comments

 
As we continue our quest to explore the Pilates matwork, today we find an excellent posterior chain exercise of Swimming.
  • Swimming:
  • ​Prone extension provides lengthening for the abdominals and hip flexors while strengthening the back muscles.
  • Work within the frame of the body and pay attention to establishing core stability through the powerhouse. You are always actively lifting your abdominals regardless of being on your belly.
  •   Extend through the limbs and lift the head as if you were raising it above the waterline. 
  • Keeping the hips and pelvis still, no rocking, flutter the arms and legs in a swimming motion.
  • Modification: Slow it down, widen the limbs for a version of Starfish
