Seated one-arm twist and pulls.

It’s important to engage your core by drawing the navel to the spine and squeezing the pelvic floor muscle to help strengthen your inner core unit. Always move slowly with control and focus on slow even breathing. Press pause on the video after each demonstration so you can perform at your own pace.
If you are a Pilates beginner, aim for 5-10 repetitions. If you are stronger you can aim for 10-15 repetitions and two sets of each exercise.
Always consult your Doctor first before starting any new exercises or if you have any health concerns.
