CONTACTWelcome to week four of “Adore your Core”! We’re so thrilled to have you in our supportive Evergreen Pilates community as we embrace five weeks of adoring our core!
Did you know that Pilates is not just a fantastic whole-body workout, but it also enhances sports performance? Whether you’re nurturing your garden, swinging your racket in pickleball, teeing off in golf, or conquering the trails on your mountain bike, everything gets a boost when we truly adore our core!
This week’s invigorating “Adore your Core” video is all about 3D strength and stability for those essential core muscles: your abs, back, and hips! Get ready to move in all three planes of motion—sagittal (forward and backward), frontal (side to side), and transverse (rotational)—to build a strong and functional core that will not only improve your balance and stability but also prepare you for a vibrant, injury-free summer!
First, we have the Shoulder Bridge, a delightful way to awaken the backside of your body while simultaneously stretching and opening up the front. It’s perfect for strengthening your lower back and hips, setting a strong foundation for all your movements!
Second, let’s dive into the Can Can—this lively exercise challenges your core stability while adding a fun twist with hip and leg rotations. Not only does it fortify your core, but it also engages your upper body, making it a holistic workout!
Third, we have the Side Leg Kicks, a fantastic way to strengthen your legs and hips while keeping your core engaged for stability. This exercise is a solid for enhancing hip flexibility and range of motion, plus it activates those essential glute med. muscles for hip stability!
Forth, we introduce the Swan, an essential exercise that strengthens your back, enhances your posture, and improves your breathing—perfect for countering the effects of long hours in front of a screen! It also boosts spinal mobility and core strength, leaving you feeling revitalized.
Finally, with push-ups, the ultimate “lift-up” for your body and confidence! Not only do these powerhouse moves strengthen your core and stabilize your spine, but they also tone those fabulous arms, sculpt your chest, and give your shoulders the lift they deserve—talk about a total body workout!

Adore your Core – Inside & Out
At Evergreen Pilates, we believe that a truly healthy core starts from within, and that means embracing the power of nutrition! This week, we’re absolutely buzzing about the fabulous benefits of incorporating salmon into your diet. 🐟✨ So, let’s dive into the top five reasons why salmon should be your new best friend in the kitchen!
First off, it’s a protein powerhouse, packing 19 grams of high-quality protein in just a 3-ounce serving.
Second, its low-cal at only 175 calories! Talk about a win-win!
Third, it revs up your metabolism, helps your body burn fat like a champ, and is loaded with essential nutrients like vitamin B12. Did you know that a single serving of salmon gives you a whopping 82% of your daily vitamin B12 needs? That’s crucial for metabolism, folks!
Forth, let’s not forget about selenium, which is vital for thyroid function.
Fifth, with its omega-3 fatty acids and anti-inflammatory properties, salmon is a fantastic ally in your journey to a healthier, happier you!
Let’s celebrate our health together—grab some salmon, whip up a delicious dish, and let’s keep that core strong and thriving! 🌟💪

Benefits of Jumpboard
1. Helps Bone Density
At Evergreen Pilates, we know that building bone density is essential for your long-term health—especially as we get older and our bones might need a little extra love. That’s where the jumpboard comes in, providing a gentle yet effective impact that promotes bone-loading and stimulates growth. This is especially crucial for women navigating menopause or anyone looking to boost their bone strength! But wait, there’s more!
2. Great Cardio Workout
The jumpboard doesn’t just strengthen your bones; it cranks up the cardiovascular intensity, making your heart race and your body sweat! Say goodbye to boring workouts and hello to a heart-pumping, calorie-torching experience that’s easy on your joints.
3. Improves Joint Health & Mobility
This incredible piece of equipment is designed to absorb the impact of each jump, giving your knees, hips, and ankles the love they deserve while letting you move with total freedom and fluidity. Say goodbye to joint pain and hello to a fun, low-impact workout that not only stimulates the production of synovial fluid to keep those joints nourished but also makes getting fit a blast! Whether you’re looking to boost your coordination or enhance your balance, the jumpboard has got your back (and your joints)! You’ll be amazed at how your brain and body sync up for controlled, precise jumps that strengthen those key muscles around your joints.
