A participant of my monthly virtual community Mat Pilates class requested more arm work for the class. I found this great standing 10-minute warmup for arms that works in balance and full-body strength. The instructor originally taught it using 3lb hand weights and I’ve modified it to use with a resistance band. I’ve listed notes in the description and I may say I’m going for 10 but I really only do 5! LOL! Enjoy this quick workout when you’re short on time.
Before you get to class sneak peek…
Here’s a sneak peek of me in action converting the Reformers to trapeze tables for my tower/barrel (Pilates Arc) class at Synergy Pilates & Personal Training in downtown Round Rock, TX.
Having two pieces of Pilates equipment in one means that I’m able to teach so many more exercises and give more variety to clients. Experiencing the footwork exercise on the tower has an entirely different feeling than when performed on the Reformer.
Then it’s time to play and practice my flow! I love to sneak in a few movements to feel it in my body right before I teach.
