Abdominal Cueing

Here are some tips for cueing the activation of the deep abdomnials



I love seeing students become teachers - taking control and confidently communicating the essence of an exercise. Over the period of a course you see it build a person's self esteem, improve posture, increase core strength and deep abdominal activation. This is one reason why I really love training teachers!!!

Joseph Pilates

This is a very short film clip of Joseph Pilates doing arm circles with stretch cords.

If he was one of my current clients I would cue him to connect through his ribs more as they are really flaring a lot! Then he does connect his ribs but a little too much, protracting his shoulders and flexing his spine.

I love how he is wearing his little high waisted shorts - a signature statement. He believed that the less clothes you wore the better - something about letting the skin breath and thus not harboring bacteria. ewwwue!!!

I also love his hair do - very cool.





Mostly what I love about this film clip is that you get to see Joseph Pilates in a action - demonstrating just one of his many exercises. This is the actual man that has revolutionized exercise as we know it today. He was so far ahead of his time that we are still using his exercise inventions today - in health clubs, physiotherapy clinics and of course pilates studios!!!
