In this workout, learn to use diaphragmatic breathing with classic Pilates movementse to train your core canister.  

This includes the deep core: pelvic floor, diaphragm, transverse abdominis, paraspinal muscles.

And the outer core: internal obliques, external obliques, rectus abdominis, psoas, and spinal erectors.  

We begin with some deep breathing exercises, then we will practice using this diaphragmatic breathing while performing several abdominal and back exercises in supine, prone, quadruped, and seated positions.  The Pilates Magic Circle (link below) will be used to create resistance in many of the  exercises, but it can be left out as well.  

These exercises will help to create an internal support system that also helps to protect your joints.  When the inner and outer core work together you will notice improved trunk mobility, improved bladder control, and increased strength.
