14 Minute Foam Roller Pilates Workout | Advanced Core Exercises + Stretching and IT Band Rolling
Advanced Pilates Core Work Meets Therapeutic Recovery on the Foam Roller
Ready for a challenging foam roller workout? This 14-minute advanced Pilates routine will test your core strength and leave you feeling amazing!
We'll start with 9 minutes of intense Pilates ab exercises on the foam roller - the unstable surface makes every movement significantly more challenging than doing them on the mat. You'll work through classic exercises like the Single Leg Stretch, the Double Leg Stretch, and Leg Circles, all while fighting to maintain your balance and core control.
Then we'll transition into 4 minutes of therapeutic stretching and rolling, including chest opening stretches and IT band release work to help your body recover.
What you'll need: a foam roller and exercise mat.
What to expect:
Advanced core strengthening on unstable surface
Classic Pilates ab exercise variations
Chest and heart opening stretches
IT band and muscle release techniques
Modifications and progressions offered throughout
This workout is perfect for intermediate to advanced practitioners looking to challenge their core stability and add variety to their routine. The foam roller creates an extra stability challenge that will engage your deep core muscles in new ways.
Remember: if it's not kind, it's not truly healthy. Listen to your body and modify as needed!
