Corefit Pilates & Barre

FORM FRIDAY ✨straight arm crunch✨

This one is all about core control. As you press your arms toward the carriage, use your abdominals to round through the spine and lift the head & shoulders slightly off the carriage.

Here are a few form reminders 👇
✅ Keep your low back connected to the carriage
✅ Keep shoulders & wrists aligned
✅ Press the arms straight down without letting the ribs flare
✅ Think about pulling your navel toward your spine
✅ Keep it slow and controlled

Small changes. BIG difference. 👀

Throughout class take a second to check in with yourself:

✨Where are my shoulders?
✨Is my core engaged?
✨Am I controlling the movement?
✨Am I feeling this where I’m supposed to?

Listen to the instructor cues. Check your form. Move with intention 💙

FORM FRIDAY ✨ V Position ✨

If you’ve taken a barre class, you’ve definitely met this move. It may look simple, but don’t let it fool you, your legs will be on 🔥!

✅ Heels together, toes turned out into a small “V” (ballet 1st)
✅ Rise onto the balls of your feet & soften the knees into your working zone
✅ Keep the tailbone gently curled under to maintain a neutral spine and engaged core
✅ Relax the shoulders away from the ears

❌ Avoid letting the knees roll forward past the toes
❌ Don’t arch through the low back or let the ribs flare

‼️ Modification: Lower your heels to the floor while maintaining your V position.
