Pilates / TRX Hip Circles.MOV

The hip circles is part of the advanced series on the pilates mat. It works your entire core. The obliques get worked as your legs move laterally at the beginning and end of the circle. The stronger your abdominal muscles are, the higher the legs can get. You also work on your back muscles so they don't collapse as you circle.

The addition of the TRX makes it an even more difficult exercise. Notice how I am having difficulty steadying my arms. The arm support on the mat gives me stability which helps me do bigger circles. With the TRX, I'm still having difficulty doing circles as low.

That looks really tough! It doesn't look like the TRX offer much support so its almost like doing hip circles in teaser! Another great demo.

@PilatesPhilippines And I thought instructors were perfect! Ha Ha!

Sorry to hear about te bump on the head - a quite literal: "no gain without pain"!

Perhaps you should keep the outtake videos and edit them with the final product when you have mastered the particular move. They can then be a useful reminder of how difficult these are! LOL
