PILATES TIPS PART 24: Hing vs. articulated bridges!! 🌁💪🏻💃🏼
BOTH are beneficial and have different benefits & purposes, so it’s important to understand and learn the difference between the two 😉🙌🏼
ARTICULATION:
👉🏼you’ll start in neutral, then begin to tuck through the tailbone, flattening low back onto the carriage or mat, and peel your spine off of the mat bone by bone. I like to imagine a string of pearls or a piece of tape peeling off and onto the mat/carriage!
💪🏻this is amazing for spinal mobility & flexibility!
HINGING:
👉🏼you’re lifting and lowering while maintaining a flat neutral spine, no articulation, keeping your alignment shoulders, ribs and hips stacked over each other
👉🏼this is amazing for your core stability as well as glute & hamstring engagement
Typically I will always start off a bridging series with articulation and move into hinging the more layers following! Make sense?! Lmk of any questions!!
