When you think about what the word crunch implies, you really get a good idea of what those types of exercises are doing to your muscles, your body and your back

Exercises that help us lengthen our spine strengthen our abdominal muscles. This helps to flatten abs while opening up the ribcage, which can ease breathing and promote other healthy benefits.

"When you think about what the word crunch implies, you really get a good idea of what those types of exercises are doing to your muscles, your body and your back," say Cathy Ferrara and Nancy Golike, two of Backbone and Wingspan's expert instructors. "Exercises that help us lengthen our spine strengthen our abdominal muscles. This helps to flatten abs while opening up the ribcage, which can ease breathing and promote other healthy benefits."

Also in June, Backbone and Wingspan will be hosting a second High Heel Workout clinic on Wednesday, June 24th from 6:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. The workout uses Pilates-based stretches and strengthening exercises to release muscles that are sore after spending hours on your feet - regardless of your heel height. A hands-on approach will be used to "walk" you through the workout combining spinal strengthening, hip stretching and stress-relief exercises while incorporating mind-body imagery that will have you grounded from your core to your soles in no time.

Backbone and Wingspan is a unique fitness studio dedicated to the functional principles of movement explored through a variety of methods including Pilates, The Feldenkrais Method®, CranioSacral Therapy and Physical Therapy.
