Pilates Theme: September, 2009

In this class build up each exercise with a fundamental warm-up and skip exercises to make up for the time spent on the warm-ups.

For the hundred, do arms up down to work on the arm movement, only taking the fingers to the ceiling and then do this going into c-scoop a few times, emphasizing that you don’t lift with your head, that you lift from the 5th press point and then start the hundred.

For roll-up teach roll-down and ab prep from the modified basic program as fundamental building blocks and then teach arms up down focusing on the arm movement from fingers to the ceiling back, while keeping the 4th press point knitted and then teach roll up.

For leg circles, teach knee sides as a warm-up with the fingers on the hips emphasizing the powerhouse.

For single leg stretch, teach knee folds with the fingers on the hips and ribs, emphasizing pelvic stability. Repeat the same knee fold warm-up before double leg stretch.

And so on, choosing exercises that you have warm-ups for and building them up slowly
