Another @poppilatesofficial favorite: #pliesquats 💗 Feet out wide, toes pointing toward the corners of the room. Arms extended out wide with nice relaxed fingers. Drop your tail bone down, keeping your back nice & straight. Return to starting position & repeat until your quads are on fire! 🔥 #popclassic33 #poparmy #popster #popsters #poppilates #poppilatesofficial #blogilates #blogilatesmoms #blogilatesdesigns #momilates

Today I'm (attempting) to show you the #singlestraightlegstretch 😂 My daughter's flexing cameo is by far the best part of the video. If you can stop laughing long enough to actually try this one, here are some tips! Keep your lower back pressed firmly into the mat, lift your head, neck & shoulders up into Pilates stance, engage your core & gently pull behind your calf as you bring your lifted leg up toward your head. Point your toes & keep your lower leg parallel to the mat, hovering just a few inches above the floor. Keep alternating legs until you lose form while laughing at my crazy family! 😜 #popclassic33 #singlestraightlegstretch #blogilates #poppilates #poparmy #popster #popsters #poppilatesofficial #blogilatesmoms #momilates #blogilatesdesigns #likemotherlikedaughter #proudmommy #strongwomenraisestrongdaughters

Today I'm showing you another classic @poppilatesofficial move, the single leg drop! This one targets your lower abs, but by lifting your head, neck & chest up into Pilates stance you can work your upper abs as well! 👌 Make sure your lower back is pressed into the mat, engage your core & lift up into Pilates stance (You should be looking at your knees. If you're looking at the ceiling you're going to strain your neck 😕). Point your toes & lift both legs straight up. Lower one leg down at a time then use your abs to lift the leg back up, alternating legs. #popclassic33 #singlelegdrop #blogilatesdesigns #blogilates #popster #poppilates #poppilatesofficial #poparmy #popsociety #momilates

Today's classic POP Pilates move of the day is #scissors Engage your core, lift your head, neck & shoulders off the mat into Pilates stance, while keeping your lower back pressed into the mat. Lift one leg, point your toes & try to keep your leg straight. Switch legs & continue to alternate while gently holding the lifted leg behind your calf or ankle. Don't forget to smile! #popclassic33 #scissors #blogilates #popster #popsociety #POPPilates #poparmy #poppilatesofficial #blogilatesmoms #blogilatesdesigns #momilates

Ok guys, today we are doing another POP classic, the #rollup 😁 Tuck your chin to your chest & slowly roll down, vertebrae by vertebrae, lifting your arms over your head. Once you're flat on the mat, use your abs to slowly bring yourself up to a seated position. Sit tall, spine straight, crown of the head high & smile! Now repeat 10 times! Fun fact: 1 Pilates roll up is equivalent to 6 traditional crunches! That's why Pilates is so effective. 👌 #popclassic33 #poparmy #POPPilates #popster #popsociety #blogilates #blogilatesdesigns

Today I'm sharing three #plank variations with you. 😁 1. Forearm Plank 2. Side Plank 3. Plank I had a hard time fitting my whole body into the frame in my tiny little #secretyogaspace at work. Hehe! 🙊 #popclassic33 #poparmy #popster #POPPilates #popsociety #poppilatesofficial #blogilates #blogilatesmoms #blogilatesdesigns #momilates

Today I'm showing you another classic POP Pilates move; the #doublelegstretch 👌 Keep you lower back pressed into the mat, suck your belly button in toward the spine & lift your head, neck & shoulders into Pilates stance. Extend your arms & legs out long and then swim your arms back in while bending your knees (giving yourself a nice big hug!). 😊 #blogilates #POPPilates #popclassic33 #popster #popsociety #poparmy

Are you ready for another POP Pilates classic? Today we have the #doubleleglift 😃 This one really targets the lower abs. Keep you lower back pressed into the mat, belly button sucked in. You can place your hands in a triangle just below your tail bone to ensure you're really pressing that lower back into the mat. Legs straight, toes pointed. Slowly lower your legs & lift them back up while using your core to keep your back flat on the mat. If you feel your lower back starting to arch or lift off of the mat, then you've gone too low. Keep practicing to see if you can bring your legs all the way down, parallel to the floor. For a more more intense option, lift your head, neck & shoulders into Pilates stance & place your hands behind the nape of your neck, keeping your elbows out wide. #popclassic33 #blogilates #POPPilates #poparmy #popsociety #popster
