Do you want to tone your waist, strengthen your core and outer thighs? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The PREP FOR KNEELING SIDE KICK does it all! This Pilates exercise is challenging in all the right places and is one of my favourite moves to include in class. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ BENEFITS: - Strengthens side body (internal and external obliques, erector spinae, QL, and serratus anterior) - Strengthen hip abductors ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If kneeling doesn't work for you, then you can modify this exercise by standing up and placing your hand on a chair. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let me know what your favourite Pilates move is and I'll add it in our next class :) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #livingbylauren #pilatesinstructor #kneelingsidekick #pilatestrainer #pilatesexercise #strengtheningworkout #corestrength #hipstrength
