Hi, my name is Cassey Ho and I'm a Pilates Instructor, healthy foodie freak, and the designer of oGorgeous Yoga Bags. You may have suffered through some of my POP Pilates workouts on YouTube.
Move of the Day! Obliques and Deep Abs Crisscross
Targets: Abs and obliques
(This is basically Pilates criss-cross but you’re not on your back)
1. Balance on your tailbone and open up your elbows wide, hands behind the nape of your neck, feet on the floor.
2. Then reach opp. elbow to opposite knee as other leg extends.
3. Switch!
Try switching about 16 times, nice and slooowwww.
Enjoy! Cassey

Move of the day! Challenge your core and gain some balance with this advanced plank move! Get into plank and then lift your right arm off the mat as you lift your left leg. You will wiggle around. You may fall. But try! The fall isn’t that far! Try it
Move of the Day: Propped Push Up

You’ll need a 5-10lb medicine ball.
*Start on all fours (knees under hips, back flat), both palms pressing into ball directly below chest, fingers pointed toward floor.
*Extend legs behind you and balance on toes so that you form a straight line from head to heels, with feet about 2 feet apart.
*Bend elbows to lower chest toward ball, keeping arms by sides, abs engaged and back flat.
*Exhale as you push back up, straightening arms. Do 10 reps. Rest 30 seconds; repeat!!!
These are killer for your tri’s.
