Description
Why do your legs feel heavy in extensions?
Often it’s not your flexibility, it’s your core.
This scissor exercise helps ballerinas strengthen the deep abdominal muscles needed to stabilise the pelvis while the legs move independently.
It strengthens:
• Transverse abdominis
• Lower abs
• Obliques
• Hip flexors
• Pelvic stabilisers
This translates directly into:
➡️ higher extensions
➡️ stronger adagio
➡️ cleaner battements
➡️ better balance
➡️ less lower back compensation
When to use it:
Add this into your warm-up, core sessions, or before extension work for 2–3 sets.
