Move of the week: try pilates swimmers to strengthen the glutes and back
By Chloe Gray

Welcome to our weekly Move of the Week series. Every Monday, we’ll be sharing with you one of our favourite exercises – how to do them, what muscles they work and why they should be a regular part of your workout regime. This week: swimmers.
Pilates has long proved that you don’t need weights to help build a strong and stable body. Whether it’s glute bridges or the classic pilates hundred exercise for the abs, the practice will test every inch of your muscles.
But when it comes to building a body that can resist the pressures in your day-to-day life, nothing works like swimmers. That’s because they switch on everything in the back of your body, from your hamstrings to your rear delts, while encouraging a gentle backend to counteract your hunching.
