[quote=Anonymous]I’m working with a personal trainer because I’m dealing with SI joint issues. Recommend at least a couple 1:1 sessions. I have found working with a Pilates bar is helpful. It provides some stability while still allowing me to push myself by adding more resistance. Yoga is also great when dealing with lower back issues- but again, I did two private lessons before I started a class to get the modifications to avoid low back strain. A lot of the yoga balance exercises (tree pose, chair pose, etc) engage your core. Sit ups (really curl ups) with a Pilates bar and yes, planks, are also good for core. Couch/ chair/ assisted (“girls”) pushups if you concentrate on keeping your core tight should not aggravate your lower back. Adding ankle weights to things like bird dogs ups the challenge. [/quote]
