Workout with Resistance Bands as Pilates Equipmet

Videos |

Pilates exercises build strength in the area of your body called “the powerhouse.” The powerhouse refers to the muscles around the waist and lower back, which include the abs. Resistance bands are elastic bands that may be used during Pilates exercises to work the powerhouse. A strong powerhouse promotes improved stabilization and posture.The roll-up is a popular Pilates exercise that targets the muscles of the abs. The resistance band is incorporated into the exercise to help you keep your form as you roll your body up from the floor. To perform the roll-up, sit on the floor with your legs straight in front of you. Wrap the band around the bottom of your feet and slowly lie back onto the floor. Keep your arms at your sides as you hold an end of the band in each hand, palms facing your thighs. Your abs are squeezed tight to support your spine during the exercise. Slowly roll your spine up off the floor one vertebra at a time and bend forward at the waist as you reach for your feet. The tension from the band will help you roll-up. Do not let go of the band or let it fall off your feet. Roll back down to the floor slowly, too.
