🦢 Try this move today — Swan.
Swan is a graceful and powerful Pilates exercise that works the whole back of your body. Lying face down with hands beneath your shoulders, you lift your chest then add in a push with the hands, lengthen the arms and extend your spine into a gentle backbend, keeping your elbows soft and your shoulders away from your ears.
This isn't about how high you go, it's about creating length through your spine as you extend.
✨ Benefits:
• Strengthens the back extensors, glutes and posterior chain
• Counteracts the effects of prolonged sitting and forward posture
Enjoy the lovely opening through your chest!
