✨ SHORT SPINE EXERCISE ✨

This exercise integrates spinal mobility with deep abdominal engagement, encouraging length and decompression through the vertebral column. The focus is on segmental articulation, maintaining a strong pelvic-lumbar connection, and achieving fluid movement through control and precision.

🌿 Primary objectives:

* Spinal articulation and mobility
* Hamstring stretch and hip disassociation
* Pelvic stability and control
* Core activation and breath integration

It’s a beautiful blend of strength and suppleness — embodying the Pilates principles of flow, precision, and control in every lift and roll.

🦴 Jumping for Stronger Bones: The Science Behind It.

Recent studies have highlighted the benefits of jumping exercises in improving bone mineral density (BMD) in individuals with osteopenia and osteoporosis. A 2024 meta-analysis involving over 600 participants found that jump training significantly increased BMD, particularly in the femoral neck, a common site for fractures in osteoporotic individuals. The study emphasized that performing 40 to 100 jumps, two to three times per week, can lead to measurable improvements in bone health when done consistently over several months (The Washington Post).

However, it's essential to approach these exercises with caution. Individuals with osteoporosis should consult healthcare professionals before starting a jumping regimen to ensure safety and appropriateness.

Stretch + Strength = Movement Mastery 💪🧘‍♀️

Strength alone is not enough— without mobility and flexibility, your body can’t move as freely or safely. Stretching and mobility work to complement strength training by:

Improving joint range of motion – so your muscles can work through their full potential.

Reducing injury risk – flexible, mobile muscles support your joints better.

Enhancing performance – stronger muscles move more efficiently when paired with supple, mobile joints.

Boosting recovery – stretching helps release tension and keeps muscles long and healthy.

When you combine strength with mobility, you’re not just building muscle—you’re building a body that moves well, feels amazing, and lasts.

✨ Tip: Start every strength session with mobility prep, and finish with gentle stretches. Your body will thank you!
