this vs that - same movement, completely different execution Pilates is not about swinging your leg as fast as possible or arching through your lower back to make the movement bigger. It’s about control, alignment, stability, and intentional muscle engagement. Key things to focus on: • Stabilize your spine • Engage your core the entire time • Move slowly with control • Keep tension in the working muscles • Avoid using momentum • Prioritize alignment over range of motion • Focus on quality of movement, not speed When done correctly, even the simplest Pilates movements will burn more because you’re actually connecting to the right muscles instead of compensating through your lower back #pilates #form #exercise #workout #technique
