Push Up with the Bosu is a variation of the original Pilates exercise Push Up. Because the BoSU (which stands for Both Sides Up) adds instablility, the shoulder girdle, the core and the abdominal muscles are greatly challenged! As always, if you feel your back arching, perform this exercise on your knees! Your abs, arms, back and core will be stronger in no time!

Hip Rolls using a stability ball challenges the core and strengthens the hamstrings and glutes.  The instability of the ball targets the deep muscles of the spine to increase core strength, while toning the backs of the legs…particularly the stubborn “top of the back of the thighs” region!  If you have a tendency to cramp in your hamstrings, take a moment to stretch before starting this exercise.  Please visit www.PilatesOnFifth.com  (for more info),  www.UltimatePilatesWorkouts.com (for more videos),  www.Shop.PilatesOnFifth.com (for store) and  Click HERE  for class schedule.

Spine Twist with the stretch band (or exercise band, same thing!) is a variation on the original Pilates exercise Spine Twist. Adding the band enables proper execution of the exercise when the band is around the base of the scapula (you can’t overuse your arms) and targets the arm muscles when around the feet. Both versions help deepen the abdominal contraction and flatten your abs!   Please visit www.PilatesOnFifth.com  (for more info),  www.UltimatePilatesWorkouts.com (for more videos),  www.Shop.PilatesOnFifth.com (for store) and  Click HERE  for class schedule.
