Get to know the benefits of these exercises
Lunges: These are a popular strength training exercise that work the large muscle groups in your lower body including abdominals, back muscles, gluteal muscles, quadriceps, hamstrings and calves.
It can help strengthen, sculpt, and tone your body, while also improving your overall fitness and athletic performance.
Performing lunges can also promote weight loss, improve your posture and strengthen your back, hips, and legs.
Reverse lunges are ideal for people who have knee concerns, difficulty balancing, or less hip mobility as they put less stress on your joints.
Side leg lifts: This Pilates move can work your core and legs all at once. Lifting your legs only engages your inner thighs and buttocks, but also work your abs, including those hard to reach obliques. It also helps strengthen your back, which can reduce pain and improve your posture.
Chest lifts are a great core workout. They help tone and sculpt your abdominal muscles and strengthen the chest and upper back muscles. Chest lifts can also help improve your posture and improve flexibility.
Bear crawl fire feet: It involves running in place while in a static bear crawl position. This exercise works the cardiovascular system as well as a wide range of muscle groups including the front shoulders, rear shoulders, triceps, and quads. It challenges the shoulders, chest, core, legs, arms, and back at the same time.
Side clam: This exercise helps tone the hips and thighs as well as improves pelvic stability. It primarily targets the glutes while also working the groin, hamstrings, hip flexors and lower back. There are many different side clam variations. Yasmin Karachiwala's side clams with hip lift is one of them. Watch the video provided above to learn how to do this variation.
All you need to do these Pilates moves is a mat or a firm, padded surface.
