GOOGLE ALERT December 17, 2015:

“Pilates is NOT a top Fitness Trend for 2015-2016″

A Thursday Technique Tip by Gayle Eubanks

We often tell our clients to imprint when they are attempting an open chain exercise. Why? The rationale is that bringing both the legs into the air (or into an open chain position), puts a lever or force against the pelvis.
