The Thigh Burner

Today was Kinesis and Pilates hour and a half training with Erin at Pura Vida Club.  We focused on abs and core work and then legs with several jump board series in Pilates and moves in Kinesis.  Jump board is tough.  It's pushing out and back on the reformer in different positions.  I call it Pilates cardio because it sends my heart rate racing let alone exhausting my legs to point of wobbly legs!

The move Erin is sharing today is for the quads.  It's called the thigh stretch.  It's more like the thigh burner!  You put a ball between your knees and squeeze.  Knees to head are in a straight line with pelvis tucked under slightly.  Lean back, hinging from your knees and keeping in a straight line as far as you can go then come back up.  Remember to breathe.  This is one of those moves you do to fatigue....which doesn't take long.  You'll feel the burn!
