What's Happening?
Pamela Paley, a Pilates master trainer for Club Pilates, emphasizes the importance of core stability for overall body support and balance. She recommends three specific Pilates exercises to enhance core strength and balance: side plank, bridge, and Russian twist. These exercises target various muscles, including obliques, transverse abdominis, glutes, and lower back muscles. Paley advises working within one's range of movement and gradually increasing the duration or repetitions as strength improves.
Why It's Important?
Core strength is crucial for maintaining stability and reducing strain on the lower back. By engaging in these exercises, individuals can improve their posture, balance, and coordination, which are essential for both static and dynamic movements. Strengthening the core also supports the pelvis and spine, potentially reducing the risk of injury during physical activities.
