L<\/span>ooking for a solid workout on your glutes and abs? On this episode of Good Moves,<\/em> East River Pilates instructor Brian Spencer<\/a> treats viewers to a complete core workout\u2014and a few “juicy” stretching (in Spencer’s words). This 15-minute Pilates workout offers light warm-up stretches, moves that may engage multiple muscle groups at one time<\/a>, and healthy doses of encouragement.<\/div>\n

It’s an advanced-level class, so, as Spencer says, “Get able to move fast and feel burn.”<\/p>\n

Spencer has you begin on the mat\u2014no additional equipment is required. Once you’re taking a seat with bent knees, you may rotate your hips side to side, windshield-wiping your knees to your left and right. Next, Spencer has you balance in your hands and feet along with your hips up, stomach facing the ceiling\u2014just like crab-walking you might have done in gym class growing up<\/a>\u2014to fireplace up that gluteus maximus.<\/p>\n

Clamshells follow to hit the gluteus medius muscles on either side of your buns. “She’s cute, but she hurts,” jokes Spencer. Soon he adds in an upper body rotation for a full-body (and brain) challenge.<\/p>\n

From there, you may move into the guts of the workout, which involves engaging your core muscles<\/a> and committing to proper form in positions that, admittedly, might feel uncomfortable. Eventually, Spencer has you push yourself up right into a half-side plank and reach your arm to the sky, bring it back down and repeat.<\/p>\n

If this sounds intense, don’t be concerned. Spencer uses transitional stretches like downward dog, lunges, and cat-and-cow to maneuver between different exercises that engage your core and glutes. This offers a much-needed break in between each segment of the workout.<\/p>\n

With these stretch breaks, you would possibly not notice how difficult the workout is until you\u2019re almost done. Still, you may rest assured that you simply\u2019re in good, enthusiastic hands\u2014Spencer leads you thru the workout every step of the best way. Ready for sweat? Hit that mat and press play.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
