Pilates exercises are well and truly having a moment. Loved by the likes of Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber and raved about by instructors and PTs alike, they promise to boost strength, stability and functional fitness from studio or home.
So, when Senior Health Editor Ally Head tasked me with trying the Pilates bridge march every day for a week, I couldn't wait to get started. The Pilates glute bridge, for what it’s worth, is one of my favourite exercises of all. Working the hips, glutes and core all at once, it’s a true muscle-building multitasker and one that’s been in my rotation for as long as I can remember. It’s particularly good for those with lower back pain (don’t we all?), but also has a place in the routine of anyone looking to improve their running mechanics, stay injury-free or simply have better posture and movement in daily life.
