Free Tutorial: Challenge Your Abs, Not Your Neck

Description

In this Movement Monday episode, STOTT PILATES Master Instructor Trainer Leslie Wall demonstrates two Arc Barrel variations to help you challenge the abdominals while minimizing unnecessary tension through the neck and shoulders.

By exploring both a head-supported and head-unsupported position, you'll experience how small changes in setup can affect muscular demand, support better movement quality, and help you find the right level of challenge for your body.

Whether you're building strength, refining technique, or looking for a more comfortable way to train your core, this short sequence offers practical strategies for creating effective abdominal work without excess strain.

Because abdominal exercises should challenge your core—not your neck.
