Fitness tip: Pilates workout targeting your balance and core

[Music] Hi everybody, it's Shasha with Action News's fitness tip. Let's do some Pilates, right? Like I'm here at the AV Apartments in King of Pussia. I've been loving Pilates. It's definitely something that I've added to my workout routine amongst obviously strength training and cardio and stuff like that. But I love it. It really helps me slow down. It really helps me strengthen my core and really feel that slow burn in your muscles. Okay. So, I want you to come down on your elbow here. We're going to take this right leg bent and I want you to extend that left leg out. Keeping your foot flexed. We're going to work our one side of the body at a time. Okay? So, watch me pull my left hip up. Right? We're going to pull my left hip up. So, immediately, right away, right out the gate, my left oblique is engaged, right? It has to. It's going to hold my body up, reaching my right arm to the sky. We're going to connect this right arm and that left leg. So, we're going to pull it up together and then drop it back down. Not letting that hip touch the ground. So, we're going to inhale, exhale, pull, and bring it back down. So, we are balancing. We are working our inner thigh, right? Cuz this leg is straight. I don't want it bent. Keep it straight. Bringing it together and back down. And so, what we do on the left side, we're going to do on the right side as well. But it's a phenomenal exercise that you can take slow and at your own time. And you are going to feel it. You're going to feel it in the inner thigh. You're going to feel it in the left oblique. You know, slow can be good, too. And I hope you give this one a try. I think you're really going to like it.
