Pilates Magic Circle - Sick Stabilizing Force
4 CommentsLast night I subbed a Pilates class for a friend. I trained in classical ballet from ages 8-21, and like most former dancers, I gravitated to Pilates before yoga. I still enjoy Pilates, but do find in yoga the spiritual component that Pilates does not have. What Pilates does have is a serious, no-nonsense, kick butt focus on core, core strength building, tucking the pelvis and creating a long and lean look. Well, when you add the magic circle to any of the mat exercises, you are talking about an extreme burn that I am seriously feeling the next day. I have a magic circle at home and will definitely be using for some ab work as my winter workout regime is more indoors. Try incorporating the magic circle into Linda Farrel’s Pilates Core Conditioning Mat workout.
Namaste,
