Tucking is an essential component of a Pink Barre workout and we are always being asked “What the Tuck?”
It’s a small movement that engages all 3 core groups – glutes, back, abs – and provides a more stable position for the body during Pink Barre classes. It protects the lower back while helping you get deeper into the exercise by working against your body’s own resistance.
Tucking of the hips is a classic dance posture that aligns the spine and engages the core. Think of pressing your tailbone towards the floor and drawing the pelvis forward bringing the navel closer to the ribs while maintaining an upright posture with shoulders stacked over hips. It keeps your body stacked in a position that is safer for the lower back and allows more muscle groups to be engaged during the workout, thus burning more calories and providing an overall strength benefit.
