Elevated Side Plank

This move is a toughie!  The elevated side plank is a great core move Erin at Pura Vida Club did with me in my Pilates session Thursday.

It's an advance move on the side plank.  Don't be surprised if you shake a little on this one.  It's a great move and great variation on a core move.

Balance Control Front

In my Kinesis and Pilates session today at Pura Vida Club, Erin had me do a move called Balance Control Front.  It's a plank on the reformer, keeping body still and pushing the carriage out and in.  This one really works the core and is a shoulder stabilizer.  It's a tough move....along with the other ones she used to kick my butt in our hour and half session!
