Table-top exercise with toe-touches
-This table-top exercise has four levels of difficulty. It targets our core muscles, including our superficial and deep abdominals, obliques and our hip flexors.
1 -
Shoulder Elevation with Theraband
-This exercise helps improve important aspects of rotator cuff strength (predominantly the external rotators) throughout shoulder range of elevation. Very helpful for shoulder/arm strength and control for various reaching and overhead activities.
-
Table-top Knee-rocking Exercise
-This exercise is very good for the abdominal/oblique muscles and helps build an important aspect of rotational control through the thoraco-lumbo-pelvic region.
-
Table-top Exercise Variation with a Ring
-This table-top exercise variation focuses on core strength, stability and control. We also show a slightly easier option for the exercise.
-
Bridging with a Fitball
-This exercise targets the hamstring and gluteal muscles, in conjunction with the deep fascial system and core stabilising muscles.
-
Ab Roller Exercise
-This exercise targets all our abdominal muscles, especially the rectus abdominis, along with the rotator cuff muscles of the shoulder and the core stabilising muscles of the trunk.
-
Bridge variations with a Ring
-This demonstration includes three progressive levels of a bridging exercise that targets the gluteal muscles and also builds strength and control throughout the lumbopelvic region. Combining the arm movement, as well as timing/controlling our breathing facilitates activation of the muscles of the deep myofascial system, or ‘core’.
-
The One-Hundred
-This core exercise involves pulsing your arms by your side and engaging your abdominal muscles, with four levels of difficulty. The pace of the exercise is determined by the length of your own deep breathing – five arm pulses for each breath in, and five arm pulses for each breath out.
-
One-arm wall push-up
-This exercise targets the triceps (arm), pectoral (chest) and oblique (abdominal) muscles.
The difficulty of the exercise can be increased the further away you have your feet from the
wall. This exercise is best done in equal amounts by each arm. -
Table top exercise with fitball
-This demonstration of a table-top exercise with a fitball includes an explanation of the alignment and breathing technique that we want to achieve with all our class exercises. The exercise focuses on core strength, stability and control. We also show two slightly easier variations for the exercise.
