Windmill is a variation of the classical Pilates exercise Scissors. In the original Pilates repertoire, Windmill occurs on the arc barrel, so for those who want to challenge their abdominal strength and stability, it is a great Pilates mat exercise! Be sure to concentrate on stability of the pelvis first before focusing on increasing range of motion!

Do you think your core is strong? Then take this 3 minute core strength test with us! This test was designed by a man named Brian Mackenzie, a senior athletics coach in the United Kingdom, and we like to call it the core challenge test because it is extremely challenging! You’ll feel every muscle in your body working (we’re not kidding) as you hold an elbow plank with different variations for 3 minutes. Your abs will get flatter quickly and you’ll find your core strength improve VERY quickly if you do this test every day! Remember: it is ok to work up to the full 3 minutes! Start with one minute and work your way up to three! Your core will get stronger in no time! Visit www.PilatesOnFifth.com  and www.Shop.PilatesOnFifth.com for more info.
