The goal of this workout is hypertrophy/growth of the muscles of the trunk and spine. We will accomplish this with a high repetition routine using resistance that allows us to engage or "squeeze" our muscles for better contractions. The goal is to train the abdominal, shoulder, back, and hip areas of the bodies.
Section one uses the pilates ring. Exercises include roll-ups, hip work, abdominal work, and shoulder stability.
Section two uses the sponge ball. Exercises include crunch variations, hip work, and extension work.
Section three is bodyweight training with many traditional Pilates moves for the trunk and spine
The combination of these exercises allow for sufficient recovery to challenge core muscles and move with a consistent pace.
