Pilates Routine for the Back and Triceps

The triceps work with the back muscles so we’ll train them together. The triceps are the most used muscles in the body for most of our daily activities: from smaller moves like brushing the teeth, to holding a baby, pushing a door to open, and doing push-ups on the mat.
The upper back muscles and lats form the largest areas of the upper body and therefore essential in hypertrophy and fat loss workouts It is so it is important to train our back muscles for posture because most of us sit all day long at work, and our shoulders tend to roll forward. One way to improve the posture is to have a strong back.

During our sessions with we follow the Pilates Method and the qualities of Mindfulness: attention, intention, awareness, focus, kindness, patience, compassion for the mind and body.
The classes are open to all levels of fitness as we start slowly with breathing exercises and slow pace movements and move gradually to more complex and compound exercises. We use weights and various props.

Gentle Active Recovery with Pilates and Yoga

Research shows that the recommended number of rest days per week depends on the type and intensity of your training, but one to two days per week for advanced and beginners (respectively) is a safe bet. Why beginners? Because beginners are not yet accustomed to maintaining a 4-5 day routine.

The best way to take a rest day is to engage in active recovery like this gentle recovery routine that we are practicing today, versus spending all day on the couch. We will loosen any tightness and allow circulation to flow without breaking a sweat. Our body and mind both need time to recover in between more intense workouts. It is up to you to decide when that time is for you.

During our sessions, we follow the Pilates Method and the qualities of Mindfulness.
The classes are open to all levels of fitness as we start slowly with breathing exercises and slow pace movements and move gradually to more complex and compound exercises.

30 minute Pilates and Yoga Stretching for Hikers

For hikers, there is always a reason to hike in any season. As we carry weight on the back for miles in uneven terrain we also have a need to stretch along the way or at least at the end of the hike. To be able to enjoy the hike and be injury-free we should create a stretching routine with dynamic stretches before the hike and static stretches after.
Today we will use a hiking pole, a stick, or improvise with a long umbrella.

During our sessions, we follow the Pilates Method and the qualities of Mindfulness.

Hip Mobility Routine
with PILATES and YOGA

How do you feel about your hips? Are they tight? Stiff? Painful?
These hip mobility exercises will help you loosen up.
So, what exactly is mobility and why is it important that we come back to this session after session?
Quite simply, mobility can be defined as the range of motion that you use in the present, not the one that you used to have when you were a child or a teenager. If you look at a baby they squat with ease all the way down and come up in seconds and they can repeat the same movement over and over again. How about you? if you need to pick up something from the floor, how easy it is for you?
So mobility is the range of motion that you have in this moment.

It’s the foundational movement. To maximize our mobility potential, we need to have adequate ranges of motion, strength through our ranges, and maximum control of our individual joints. Only then we can function well, produce smooth coordinated motion and distribute forces evenly throughout the body.

Functional Fitness is possible at any age with consistency and efficient resistance training. In this workout, we practice exercises inspired by the Pilates Method and Yoga to gain control over the body and make it stronger. As a result, we improve balance, flexibility, stability, coordination, and range of motion.

PILATES Upper Body Stretching and Tonning
30 minute follow along traning

Today we'll use a long towel and weights ( if you want). During our sessions, we follow the Pilates Method and the qualities of Mindfulness.

The classes are open to all levels of fitness as we start slowly with breathing exercises and slow pace movements and moving gradually to more complex and compound exercises.
We notice the muscles that are working during each exercise paying attention to the connection between mind and body. We become aware of the connection between relaxation and effort as each cell of our body internalizes this memory developing new habits. We notice how the muscles and breathing adapt to effort by training them daily and we become aware of eliciting the relaxation response when we need it to calm the body and mind.
During the sessions please listen to your body and only do the exercises that are fit for you.

Glute Burn with Pilates
from Aesthetics to Functionality
All levels welcome

https://youtu.be/4loHh_HP-i8

A strong and sculpted butt is the secret to improving overall health. If you are an athlete, a strong butt is about speed, power, and sports performance, while also decreasing the risk of injury. Our glutes made up of the gluteus minimus, gluteus medius, and gluteus maximus, are the largest and strongest muscles in your body when we train them regularly. Otherwise, they shrink and they turn into a pancake butt. While esthetics helps with confidence, a better behind isn’t just about aesthetics :).

So how do we build a stronger butt? Squats are a good place to start. But if we really want to get your b***y rock solid, it’s a good idea to incorporate weights, resistance bands, stability balls, and the magic circle into our glute workout. In this workout, we'll do butt exercises from squats, lunges, glute bridges, leg lifts and more.
