Today was the last "Bingo Wings Be Gone" class and it was a blow-out. We started by wrapping Slastix bands around the ballet barre to do Pilates arm exercises like Chest Expansion, Salutes and Hugs. I stealthily (or not) took photos of some of the participants so you can see the set up.
In addition to using slastix, we did push ups against the ballet barre then single arm push aways on the wall. The ladies also used 5lb weights and continued their arm extravaganza on the rollers to keep their chests open while doing presses and triceps. Once they were done with the rollers, I had them all sit up and hold one weight while doing a teaser. They took the weight side to side then bent their knees and did half curls up and down with the weight going to the knees and over their heads.
We did side planks with weights, push ups and dips and of course great back extension/swans holding the bands. The bands were great as well to simulate the Pilates rowing series on the floor. A good time was had by all and I know they will feel the love tomorrow.
Next class series is "chairdevil" which is a chair challenge workout. Stay tuned.
