Pilates Core Progression Benefits

Brand New – Pilates Core Progression Series

Pilates benefits overall flexibility, muscle strength around your abdominals, lower back, hips and buttocks (the essential ‘core muscles’ of your body). When you are using body weight movements you are enhancing your strength because you are controlling, balancing with attention, intention and purpose.

Here is a little secret about me, I studied Pilates because I did not want to sign up to the 200-hour yoga teacher training! I was new to the fitness industry and back then this course seemed like a logical choice. My intention was to coach others using specific mobility movements.

Little did I know these movements would not only benefit the general population, but it also gave me opportunities to work with a senior men’s rugby team in Newport. A senior women’s rugby team in Whitchurch, Cardiff and it came in extremely useful when working within the Formula One Paddock and F1 Team.

You may be thinking, that’s great Tuls but what is the big deal? You may even ask why should you include Pilates movements into your routine?

Since coaching the feedback received was extremely positive! Many clients found it improved their posture tremendously. In a culture where sitting is the new norm, working from home (despite various benefits) is causing havoc to our posture.

 

 

• When we move with intention and efficiency we use less effort. This is when you will notice a significant reduction in pain.

• Core strength is one of the key principles in Pilates and it is the primary emphasis within my new series on YouTube. I will be sharing various methods on how to move with ease, over a short period of time. I will also be teaching you how to progress these movements, from basic, intermediate to advanced.

• A by-product during participation will be an improvement in your focus and concentration. When you are using intention during your practice, you are improving your concentration and focus similarly to meditative practices.

• Lastly, a favourite of mine, working with sports teams I have found that sports people (or individuals who tend to rely on a specific sport like cycling, tennis or golf etc) tend to be ‘misaligned’ due to their nature of sport. Pilates allows your body to regain a balance. It also has advantages when recovering from, or reducing the likelihood of, injuries.
