You can do a hundred sit-ups and never touch the muscles that actually matter.Underneath the core you can see is another layer. The deep stabilisers. They hold your spine and pelvis steady all day without you ever thinking about them, and they make a huge difference to your stability and the overall quality of how you move. When they are doing their job, standing, lifting and moving all feel easier. When they are not, the surface muscles pick up the slack, and you tend to feel it in places such as your back.
The problem is you cannot really feel them working. That is what makes them so easy to skip.
Over four Monday evenings, Katie changes that, and she is bringing in the small stability ball to do it. It is a simple prop, nothing intimidating, and it works because it removes the ability to cheat and creates direct focus on the areas that need it most.
A reminder: this is still a full Pilates class. Katie's careful, methodical teaching stays exactly as it is, with the anatomical reason behind every movement and modifications for every level. The deep core work is woven through the middle, and the rest stays as it always is.
One thing to take home each week. Two minutes, lying down, before sleep or when you wake up.
