Today we used the elastic bands to perform some of the poses we practise in pilates.
Even though they assisted in the positioning of my pelvis and was able to stabilise my core further, they used a lot of upper body strength originating in my biceps and triceps which was where my focus kept wondering to.
However, I was able to increase the depth of the poses by pulling upon the band to pull, for example, my leg closer to me.
It was nice to introduce something new that could help with the poses, similar to the 'roller' we have also used to stabilise poses and deepen stretches etc.
I felt the benefits of the bands as my balance and general stabilisation was better at the end of the session than it was at the beginning.
