Pilates
love the summer season and am looking forward to trying new fitness workouts. My first workout was trying a thirty intro class at Club Pilates. I took Pilates back in 2012 at a local yoga studio. All the exercises at the yoga studio were from the mat.
Club Pilates
My class at Club Pilates uses a reformer which I loved. The reformer supports the back and allows for fluid movement of arms and legs. I did not feel any strain on my neck from any of the exercises. By using the reformer I am able to adjust the setting for positioning my head depending on the exercise. The exercises from the floor and mat were easy for me to maneuver. I like the diversity of exercises to work the entire body. There were exercises from the floor and using resistance bands.
Diversify Workout
One of my favorite options of working out at home is the ability to diversify workouts. Pilates is excellent for improving posture, flexibility, and overall movement. I like the movements that allow me to stretch, use my core with proper breathing. Club Pilates offers a number of classes, times, and days. I am going to try the Suspend class next because it incorporates Pilates with the TRX.
One of the best goals I have worked on is using different types of equipment for strength training. It has increased my muscle mass, flexibility, and endurance. The best way to stay motivated is to include different forms of exercise you enjoy. There are a number of classes whether it is yoga, pilates, boxing, TRX, or kickboxing trying something new adds more fitness motivation.
