Working on our Salsa Twists! 💃✨

Are you performing them correctly in your Pilates classes? More importantly, can you feel the right muscles working?

This rotational movement is a fundamental pattern we use every day when we walk. Developing awareness of how you perform your Salsa Twists and what muscles are activating can help improve overall walking mechanics.

The position of your pelvis matters.

- If your p***c bone is more oriented toward the floor you’ll get more glute max and glute med posterior fibers,
- If your p***c bone is more oriented toward the ceiling you’ll get more glute med anterior fibers,
- If your bottom waist is more lifted away from the reformer you’ll get more glute max and glute med posterior fibers,
- If your bottom waist is on the reformer you’ll get more glute med anterior fibers and adductor

The next time you are using the jump board in your pilates class take a second to think about how you are using your pelvis. Is it doing what you want it to do and achieve your goal? Choose wisely.

“A shaking leg is better than a jiggling leg” an iconic quote said by one of my patients. 😎

Exercises may be difficult but always remember they are building muscle and neuromotor functions for you to function better and jiggle less.😉
