PILATES FOR BACK STRENGTH

I’ve been obsessed with exercises for the back line recently, mainly because I think they’re so great for our posture and we all probably need to do more exercises to open the chest and strengthen the upper back.

Leg pull back is an amazing exercise for the whole body, particularly the glutes, hamstrings, back and shoulders. But defo an exercise to work up to. We’ll be working on this in our classes this week.

Here’s a little dive into exercises we can do to get here ✨

First time talking and filming, trying to get over that feeling of cringe and being self conscious - anyone else felt this when first starting out? Does it get better?

Anyway, here’s a little clip of the side plank series we’ve been working on this week…

My 5 top reasons to do Pilates
(There are so many more but these are my favourites)

1. Body awareness
Pilates doesn’t always have to be slow, but it is intentional. This intentionality helps us understand where our body is in space and how to align so you get the most out of every movement. I’ve used this in other parts of my life, whether it’s running, skating, dancing, weight training.

2. Precision
This is one of my favourite parts (sometimes I think us pilates teachers can get a bit OTT about this, guilty 🤚) but the smallest change of positioning can often completely change the feeling of an exercise. Even basic body weight movements can feel challenging. This is also why 1.1s can be a game changer.

3. Nervous system reset
Breath plays a massive part in Pilates, which is why we often feel calm after a class. Pilates is not always easy and shouldn’t be, but there’s something about stretching the spine in all directions and moving with the breath that can give you a massive nervous system reset.

4. Focus
I’ve struggled with focus and racing thoughts my whole life, but there’s something about going to a really good, intentional class that leaves your brain feeling quiet and a little more mentally sharp.

5. Full body integration
Every single exercise will incorporate the whole body if you do it properly, it’s less about splitting into ‘upper/lower’ and more about how the whole body works together in a single movement.

Last week I felt like I had 0% energy. So here’s a lazy, feel good stretch & mobility series for anyone who may be feeling the same this week… ✨

1. Hip stretch with ball under pelvis (don’t sleep on this one)

2. Bicycle (do both sides) - great for mobility: hamstrings/hips and knees.

3. Window wipers, great way to get both internal and external rotation (fabulous for hip mobility)

4. Star stretch (another one that feels great to me, rotation for the upper back and a fab stretch for the IT band)

Enjoy ❤️
