Description
Pilates for Complete Beginners is designed to comfortably get you ready for a full Pilates class, which is also included in this course. Pilates is a type of exercise system where you place your body in the correct alignment for each exercise. By doing this you lower exercise related risks and improve the quality of each move is increased ten fold. Please ensure your physician has given you the thumbs up to exercise.The exercise of choice for people who aren't into gym vibes and hardcore trainers. My approach is gentle. Building up is better than jumping into the deep end."I never loved exercise until I was introduced to Pilates. I now do it 5 days a week" raves Sheila, whose been a client of mine for over a decade and is in her mid 70's.The movements are done slowly - have you ever tried doing a push up slowly - it's much more effective. p.s. we don't generally do push ups in Pilates so please don't loose interest yet. So it's slow, controlled exercises where a smaller move is usually more effective than a bigger move. For this reason Pilates suits those who don't want to sweat and get out of breath.When you can hold the correct positions while performing an exercise, you start to work multiple muscle groups and those muscle groups are the precise ones that correct your posture. Do you want to make your workout more effective? This is the method for you.There are Six Principles that oversee your Pilates practice. These include:- Breathing - Rib Placement - Shoulder Positions- Activating your Core muscles effectively - Head Placement - Lower Back placement Better than just improving your Pilates exercises you can then start to use these Six Principles when you do any other kind of exercise as well - Optimizing any fitness regiment you do.Once we've learnt these Principles we'll start to build the foundation Matwork exercises (one at a time) incorporating all six steps simultaneously.This may sound daunting but you will get the hang of it easily. You can then spend time repeating these steps to grow your confidence or go on to do the full workouts provided.Before each workout you must do the warm up and after the workout please do the stretches provided. These steps are crucial to the safety of the exercises.Grant says "Pilates has completely changed my life, I've improved my performance on all my extreme sports and lowered the aches and pains that used to follow me daily"
