It’s osteoporosis awareness month!
Did you know that our bones are living structures which are constantly remodelling. Our whole skeleton is replaced every 10-12 years 😱
There are many factors that influence the density (strength) of our bones 🦴 some we cannot change, but there are plenty of factors that we CAN change 👌

Check out The Royal Osteoporosis Society website for a wealth of information about how weight bearing (impact) exercise and progressive resistance training can help to strengthen our bones!

Learn different weight bearing and muscle strengthening exercises to help keep your bones strong and healthy throughout life.

It’s International Pilates day!
Here’s a great quote from Joseph Pilates

“Physical fitness can neither be achieved by wishful thinking, nor outright purchase”

With time, patience and consistency you will notice the significant physical and mental wellbeing benefits that Pilates can offer. It doesn’t happen overnight!! Stick with it 👌💪

In class this week the spikey balls were out to get some “nice” massage into our feet followed by some toe drills. Improving our toe splay can help with posture and balance 😁 Why not have a go at home 🦶👏

This week in class we did a glutes challenge using a band. Apologies to those who had those evil black bands 😂😱 Try these 4 exercises and if you can, do 2 sets!

1. Banded hip twist- keep the pelvis level as you push alternate knees out into the band. Gently push the foot on the other side into the mat, to stabilise your pelvis

2. Banded hip twist in bridge- come up into bridge, keep the hips up as you push alternate knees out into the band.

3. Bridge with static bilateral hip twist- push both knees out into the band, maintain this position as you lift your pelvis up & down

4. Banded single leg bridges- bring one leg to single table top, push into the other foot to drive your hips up, lower the pelvis with control

Enjoy 💪👌
