    thanks! Im gonna try this with my class next weel. Just a quick one, the plank exercise you went straight into, what could of you done to build up to plank? A leg pull prep maybe? (knee hoover)
    thinking about regressions for this exercise for those less able to do full plank, xx

    • @PilatesBodywithMichelleAlexis
      @PilatesBodywithMichelleAlexis  Год назад

      Instead of doing a full plank, I usually would modify with keeping their knees down so if your machines have the platform just keep the knees down. If you don’t have the platform you could have them turn around so their knees are now on the reformer and forearms could be on a box over the springs or they can stay on their hands. But your suggestions also would work as well! 😊

    Great workout, sweating here in our UK mini heatwave! I especially loved the second half plank and obliques, was a tough one on the shoulders for Aerolates 4 chord machine. I felt it quite a lot in my hamstrings, more so than the glutes, during the shoulder bridge work to try and maintain my carriage from moving. Should I have increased the spring tension and also got a better pelvic tilt to try and get it into the glutes more?

    • @PilatesBodywithMichelleAlexis
      @PilatesBodywithMichelleAlexis  3 года назад +3

      Thanks Sabrina! Hopefully the heatwave doesn't last for long! Someone else mentioned that these shoulder exercises on the Aero were tough. If you do this workout again, either try using a 2 or 3lb dumbbell or use both hands on the lightest tension and face forward for the shoulder press and backwards bringing the arms out to a T for rear shoulders. That should feel a lot better on the shoulders. For the bridges, you will feel hamstrings, but if you only felt hamstrings and not glutes than yes increase the spring tension, so you can focus more on tilting the pelvis and squeezing the glutes and not have to worry as much of the carriage moving. Also, each time you lift the pelvis, hold the squeeze of the glutes at the top for a few seconds before releasing. Even as your lower, keep trying to squeeze the glutes because that will keep the engagement of the muscle throughout the exercise. Hopefully these tips help, if you have any more questions feel free to ask!

    How would you do the moves of pushing from behind the reformer if your reformer isn't on a stand? I have the stand but I had to take it off due to balance issues right now. Thanks

    • @PilatesBodywithMichelleAlexis
      @PilatesBodywithMichelleAlexis  3 года назад

      Do you have a box or platform for the reformer? If you have either of these you can place them on top on the rails all the way to back and sit on either the platform or the box and then put your legs to the outside of the rails almost straddling the machine. You could also kneel in the well, and put a mat or pillow down if your floors are hard.

    I also was so excited to see a new video! I do have a question. I'm using an Aeropilates with four black cords. The shoulder work in this class was too hard even on just one cord. I remember in one of your classes you recommended using hand weights if the workout was too intense. What weight would you recommend? Thanks so much.

    • @PilatesBodywithMichelleAlexis
      @PilatesBodywithMichelleAlexis  3 года назад +2

      Aww thanks Gina, love to hear that! For the shoulder exercises, try using a 2 or 3lb dumbbell. I wouldn't go any heavier, just because of the amount of reps we do, you want to feel your shoulders working, but not being strained. Other option, would use be to use one cord and use both arms, facing toward the foot bar and doing a shoulder press motion. The other exercises facing the back and opeing the arms out to a T position. They will work the same muscles! Let me know if you have any other questions, always happy to help
