Elbow Plank Twister is a variation of the Elbow Plank which is itself a variation of the original Pilates exercise Leg Pull Front. This variation further challenges the oblique abdominal muscles as the lower body rotates from side to side while the upper body remains stable. Elbow Plank Twister challenges the core, shrinks the waist and strengthens the shoulder girdle stabilizers.

This leg workout features original Pilates exercises (and some variations on the classics!) that target the muscles of the leg — the outer thighs, inner thighs, quads and hamstrings — to shape and tone lean muscles. The key to getting the most out of these exercises is to conduct the exercises with precision and control. Imagine moving through water instead of air so that the muscles encounter “resistance” throughout the range of motion. Visit PilatesOnFifth.com for more info.

Teaser/Boat Challenge is a variation of the original Pilates exercise “Teaser.” This exercise challenges abdominal strength and core stability while moving the spine and pelvis from the Teaser positio in Pilates to the Boat Pose in yoga. You’ll flatten your abs, improve balance and control and reinforce proper positioning!
