Beginner Pilates Program to Activate the Essentials

For the complete program

Get the incredible benefits that come from activating the muscles that keep your head, neck and shoulders in alignment. The third workout in Carrie Russo’s Activate the Essentials series realigns the tight and weak areas of the upper body that create pain patterns using props you have at home including a pillow, broom and long towel. You’ll learn simple exercises you can do throughout your day like the Pilates Castanets and Spider Fingers exercises that can improve pain from arthritis, carpal tunnel and more. This is a fantastic workout to do if your body suffers from working at a desk and will bring immediate changes to your posture while building the strength that will make it easy to sit and stand tall all the time.
