Half Roll Down with the Mini Body Bar is a variation of original Pilates exercises that helps strengthen the abdominal muscles and increases the flexibility of the spine. Be sure to choose a bar that is not too heavy (we use four pounds) as you do not want to over-challenge the shoulder girdle stabilizers! Adding biceps curls to this exercise targets both the arms and the abs…what could be better!

Port de bras on the BoSU is a variation of the original Pilates exercise of the same name on the Arc Barrel. Articulating the spine through flexion and extension helps increase flexibility of the spine while targeting the abdominal muscles more than the typical “crunch!” The added instability of the BoSU triggers the deep stabilizers of the core to fire as well! The result: flat abs, a strong core and open shoulders!

Roll Up with the Mini Body Bar is a variation on the original Pilates exercise “Roll Up.” Using the Mini Body Bar can help individuals with tight lower backs roll up sequentially and smoothly through the spine, although its use does require more shoulder girdle stability. Mini Body Bars come in a range of weights, and we are using a 4 pound bar. This exercise tones and strengthens the abdominal muscles, increases flexibility of the spine and strengthens the shoulder girdle stabilizers.
