Client Testimonial – Decreased Low Back Pain From Pilates And Yoga

Man I love to hear success stories! This week one of my clients told me how her regular Pilates and yoga practice has helped reduce her low back pain. She has suffered from chronic back pain that was always hovering around a 3-4 out of 10. For the past two years she has been doing Pilates and Yoga with me twice a week plus walking and stretching on her own. Her back pain in now almost nonexistent.

Build Core Strength With Plank Rows

This exercise has caused the most moaning and groaning from my clients so far this month. Here Rick demonstrates one of the October Five – Plank rows.

Rick Plank Rows October 2012

Start in a plank with feet as wide as the mat (knees down if needed). Now lift one hand. Keep your plank position, nothing else moves.

Rick Plank Rows 2 October 2012

This exercise works upper body, core, back, legs – everything! If you do not have access to dumbbells start in a plank and just lift one hand.
