Wow I have been doing Pilates machine for 12 years until I bought my own machine since I wanted to go wild.. there are many Pilates teachers on RUclips, few are very good and I can say you are the best one! Sound is great, very dynamic and killer workouts💪🏽💪🏽thanks !!! Love you❤🌸👸
Another great video ladies!! Thank you! Melanie, could you maybe do a short segment on strengthening the neck! My neck has been having issues lately. Thanks again!
Another short and fiery one! Once again, great job. I felt it a lot in my abs and hamstrings. I’m going to have watch while not doing it and see if there are any minute details that I missed. I’ll probably feel it later in my glutes. I’m betting it’s one of those evil ones that seems fine while doing it and sneaks up on you later.
Thanks! If you’re not feeling it in the glutes 48h after, you might consider picturing pushing through the heels for the foot in strap work and playing with the height of the leg when you extend back until you feel the glutes switch on. For the attitude work where the knee is turned out and the strap is on the thigh, trying to lift the knee and get your best external rotation can also help with getting better glute engagement. That said, hamstrings and abs will definitely both be working in several of these moves, so those aren’t wrong answers either. Additionally, I’ve had some in-person clients who needed some hamstring release prior to glute work in order to get good glute activation - this may or may not be relevant to you, but I’ve seen examples of manual therapy, tennis ball release, foam roller, or massage gun work on the hamstrings before doing glute exercises helping with improving glute activation. Your mileage may vary, but I hope that this helps!
Good point about the hamstring release work. More than likely that’s the case since they’re pretty tight most of the time. I’ll try it again in a few days and use the massage gun before and see what happens. Thanks for the help.
Yes, absolutely! The spring load might feel lighter if you’re doing these moves without the box, so if needed, you can increase the springs (optional).
@@MelanieLopezPilates I truly despise autocorrect! Flute was meant to be glute ☹️ for some reason I can’t edit my initial comment to fix that but thank you for responding!

Is there a way to do those flute exercises without the box?
Yes, absolutely! The spring load might feel lighter if you’re doing these moves without the box, so if needed, you can increase the springs (optional).
