Nico Gonzalez, Balanced Body Educator and Founder of Pocket Pilates, is here to share another mashup on the CoreAlign®. In this clip, you’ll use the CoreAlign with the carts at the end of the equipment and start in a kneeling position. Begin with some familiar exercises to warm up the body and then ramp it right UP into plank progressions with rotation, push-ups, and a walking plank. Have FUN!
