    iPod Video

    Grasshopper on Stability Ball is a variation of the original Pilates exercise “Grasshopper” which occurs on the barrels and the reformer. Grasshopper strengthens the erector spinae while increasing the flexibility of the spine and toning the muscles of the thighs and buttocks. The addition of the ball, of course, adds instability which targets the deep core
    musculature and challenges balance.

    Click to play


    iPod video

    Windmill on the small ball is a variation of the original Pilates exercise Windmill on the arc barrel. The small ball adds the instability necessary to challenge the core against the large movement of the legs. The legs scissor twice, then circle out to the side which targets the core musculature and strengthens the abs as you endeavor to stay on the ball. You’ll flatten your abs, increase flexibility and get a stronger core!

    EP156: Half Roll Down on Stability Ball  


    Click to play


    iPod Video

    The Half Roll Down on the stability ball is a variation of original Pilates exercises that require flexion from a supine position. This exercise allows you to start vertical and use the abdominals to roll your pelvis under you, thus reversing the usual way we mobilize our spines with the abdominal muscles. The stability ball adds the instability necessary to trigger the deep stabilizing muscles of the spine and torso to engage and support your body in this position. You’ll tone and flatten the abdominal muscles, strengthen the core, and also feel a little engagement in the backs of the legs.

    EP 155: Hot Potato with Band  


    Click to play


    iPod Video

    Hot Potato with Band is a variation of the original Pilates exercise Side Kicks or Side Leg Lift Series. The exercise band adds the tension necessary to target the gluteus medius even more than the “regular” version. Additionally, the abdominal muscles work throughout the entire exercise to stabilize the torso in the side lying position while you are toning your legs. Hot Potato with Band delivers flat abdominals and sculpted legs!

    EP 154: Half Curl on Stability Ball  


    Click to play


    iPod Video

    Half Curl on Stability Ball is a variation of any original Pilates exercise that flexes the body up from supine. The stability ball adds the instability necessary to target the core musculature even more than performing the same exercise on the floor. Also, performing the exercise on the ball requires the hip extensors to work intensely to maintain the body in one long line from head to knee – and then ribcage to knee – as thoracic flexion is performed. You’ll tone the abdominal muscles, strengthen the core and target the muscles of the backs of the legs and buttocks.

    EP 153: Swan Dive on the Stability Ball  


    Click to play

    iPod Video

    Swan Dive on the Stability Ball is a variation of the original Pilates exercise “Swan Dive” which appears on almost every piece of Pilates equipment, including the mat. The instability of the ball challenges balance and core stabilization, while adding some fun to a traditional Pilates exercise! This exercise strengthens the erector spinae and the hip extensors as the goal is to maintain the swan shape throughout the exercise. Because the arms help to stabilize the body and generate the motion, the triceps get a nice workout as well.

    EP 152: Scissors with the Small Ball  


    Click to play

    iPod Video

    Scissors with the Small Ball is a variation of the original Pilates mat exercise Scissors. By placing a small ball under the pelvis, the abdominal muscles and the deep stabilizers of the torso are further challenged due to the instability the ball provides. This version can also allow for greater range of motion of the leg reaching away, as the ball aids in creating a strong abdominal or “rib to hip” connection. This exercise tones and flattens the abs, increases flexibility and creates the look of long, lean muscles.
