INTERMEDIO

Intermediate Pilates is an intermediate level of Pilates practice that occurs after practitioners have gained a solid foundation in the basic level of Pilates.

At the intermediate level, Pilates exercises become more complex and challenging. Additional exercises and variations of the basic exercises are introduced to work and strengthen the muscles more deeply.

Some common exercises at the intermediate level of Pilates include:

- Roll-up: This exercise works the abdominals and the flexibility of the spine.
- Single Leg Stretch: An exercise that works the abdominals and improves core stability.
- Scissors: An exercise that strengthens the abdominals, hip flexors and leg muscles.
- Side Plank: An exercise that focuses on strengthening the obliques and shoulder stabilizer muscles.
- Teaser: A challenging exercise that works your abs and upper body strength.
- Shoulder Bridge: An exercise that strengthens the glutes and the back of the legs.
- Criss-Cross: An exercise that works the obliques and hip flexors.

Intermediate Pilates requires a higher level of body strength and stability compared to the basic level. Practitioners are expected to have greater knowledge and awareness of their body while performing the exercises.

It is important to continue practicing Pilates regularly to continue progressing and advancing in difficulty levels. A certified Pilates instructor can properly guide and correct posture and technique during intermediate Pilates classes.
