Side Work Series

A vital part of a daily movement practice is activating the parts of the body that support our rotation and lateral movement. Enter the oblique and transverse abdominals

The thing is we won’t be able to move the legs in isolation to the trunk unless we stabilize it with the core muscles. A side work series practiced daily can help drill the neuro-musculature connections neccesay to perform this involuntarily AND gracefully.

I got the side work series idea from the sequences of Classical Pilates. The sequences done in this practice are to be performed routinely thus building a stronger body through a repetetive daily habit. Because the Classical Pilates leaves little room for individual variability, I hope to make this sequence available a larger group of people and still achieve the essential muscle activations necesary to perform daily living tasks.
