Core-Tex Sit Glute Bridge with Unstable Trunk

Add some core work to your Glute Bridge when your upper body is supported on your Core-Tex Sit.  As you move through the primary movement at the hips, the trunk motion on Core-Tex Sit has to be controlled from the hips to the core.  The motion of the trunk will also influence how the hip muscles work, adding some valuable variability to how the muscles are get stronger. 

Pilates practitioner,  Mary Ascension Saulnier from Los Angeles utilized Core-Tex Sit with her client who had been experiencing sciatic pain.  Positioning the trunk and upper extremities vertically and horizontally with the hands anchored allows Core-Tex Sit to contribute to some very beneficial movements of the pelvis and lower back.
In this video, we demonstrate alternate heel raises to engage the core and promote micro movements of Core-Tex Sit. By incorporating this marching motion, you actively generate those additional micro movements that require muscle activity to benefit your lower back, spine, and hips.
