Just in time for your New Year’s Resolutions!
Strengthening your core muscles are important because all of your movements are supposed to originate here. Strong core = excellent balance.
Here is the first video in a series of Pilates for Beginners. This exercise is called the Front Support Stretch and reminds me of the plank , my favourite core move.
For now, concentrate on perfecting your technique, but remember to have fun!

I took Pilates for awhile. It was helpful and eventually got me prepped for ashtanga yoga which is a passion now.
Thanks for the pilates reminder of core strength benefits!

Oh, man, Emmanuel. I LOVE working the core! I do some sort of core exercises about three times a week.
It helps with my posture, teaches trains my lungs for deep breathing, and subsequently is a great stress reliever.
Ashtanga yoga for me, too, please!
