  1. The Pilates Pelvic Curl (sometimes called a bridge) is a foundational Pilates exercise that strengthens the glutes, hamstrings, and core while promoting spinal articulation and flexibility.

Here’s how to do it step by step:


How to Perform a Pilates Pelvic Curl

  1. Start Position:
    • Lie on your back with knees bent, feet flat on the mat, hip-width apart.
    • Arms rest at your sides, palms facing down.
    • Keep your spine neutral and core engaged.
  2. Prepare:
    • Inhale to prepare, feeling the ribcage expand.
    • Exhale and gently draw your belly button toward your spine to engage the core.
  3. Curl the Pelvis:
    • Tuck your pelvis slightly under, then lift your hips off the mat.
    • Slowly roll your spine off the floor one vertebra at a time until your body forms a straight line from shoulders to knees.
  4. Hold & Squeeze:
    • Pause at the top, squeezing your glutes and pressing through your heels.
  5. Lower Back Down:
    • Inhale, then slowly roll your spine back down to the mat, vertebra by vertebra.
    • Return to the starting position with your hips and pelvis neutral.
  6. Repeat:
    • Perform 8–12 controlled repetitions.

Tips for Proper Form

  • Move slowly and with control, avoiding momentum.
  • Keep your shoulders relaxed and arms pressing gently into the mat for stability.
  • Press through your heels, not toes, to target the glutes more.
  • Maintain spinal articulation—think of lifting and lowering each vertebra individually.

Muscles Worked

  • Gluteus maximus (main glutes)
  • Hamstrings
  • Core (abdominals and spinal stabilizers)
  • Lower back

✨ This exercise is perfect for building glute strength, improving hip mobility, and enhancing spinal articulation, making it a staple in any Pilates or functional fitness routine.
