Here's my guest coach, Nicole Miller, who joined us on the 365fitt Healthy Active Living Trip to Captiva Island, FL February 1-8, 2014. Nicole is demonstrating for us a beautiful pilates move. What I like most about this video is how you can do a progression. For a beginner, wrap the theraband around your back, lean back slightly making your abdominals tight, and bring your arms forward. For the lower body, you'll draw your knees in, which, as a beginner, you can do one at a time, until you become stronger. Finally, put the arms and legs together simultaneously for a more advanced workout; very much like a crunch. You'll utilize some great back and core stabilizing muscles on this one! Strive for 15 and watch your form and focus on quality!

Free Workout Friday: Stability Ball Pushups and Bridges
Stability Ball Pushups and Bridges
Lots of variations today. Give it a try. Most people have a stability ball sitting around the house. So, dust it off, put some air in it, and give it a try!Don't have a stability ball? Use your sofa! Balance your legs on the sofa or low chair or bench and do your pushups. For the bridge, balance your head, neck and shoulders on the edge of the sofa and lift your hips. Keep your abdominals pulled in tight! Enjoy!

Free Workout Friday - Totally Core Workout
I choose Plank a lot in my workouts because it's an awesome exercise, working arms, legs, glutes, abdominals and back. Plus, there are a lot of variations for people with wrist issues (use forearms or kettlebells) or lack of core strength (drop to your knees for plank).
I use the side plank because it works your obliques and supporting muscles into the frontal abdominals and back transverse muscles.
I also use superman a lot because it strengthens the muscles along the spine from cervical to coccyx.
Most recently, I've uploaded a video on Youtube that demonstrates all these moves.
Enjoy your workout today and everyday,
Kathy
