Pilates on Fifth Video Podcast A free weekly Pilates online video program to train your core muscles!

The Scissors is an original Pilates exercise that strengthens the abdominal muscles and increases hamstring flexibility. If your hamstrings are tight initially, decrease the range of motion so that you can keep your knee straight, otherwise your hamstring flexibility won’t increase as quickly. The Scissors will deliver flatter abs and lean sculpted legs! Visit www.PilatesOnFifth.com for more info.

The Double Leg Stretch is an original Pilates exercise that strengthens your abdominal muscles and your core. Reaching your arms and legs away from your torso challenges your core strength! To increase the core challenge, don’t let your head and shoulders drop as your arms and legs reach away and pull in your abs to keep them as flat as possible—always!

The Side Leg Lift Series is part of the classical Pilates repertoire and the Circles strengthen the core, flatten the abdominal muscles and tone the inner and outer thighs. If you feel strain in your lower back, bring your legs slightly forward of your body, but for a real challenge, maintain a perfectly straight line and bring your top hand to your hip!
