Wednesday’s Workout

Today we’re using the props that were introduced yesterday. These can be used in a multitude of ways and here is a little example that you can add to your routine. You can also do the movements without resistance straps or with light weights.

Remember to use the range and resistance that is suitable for you at the time you are practicing. Honour you body and back off a little if you’re not feeling 100%. Movement still helps and may even give you a lift during these times, but remember to monitor how you feel and stop if it’s too much.

Managing a chronic condition means that exercise is important, however, being mindful to leave yourself with enough energy for the rest of the day and the following day(s) is too.

Tomorrow the donation gets doubled. Anything you donate will be doubled!! (24/6)

How good is that!

Also if it helps. Your donation to a charity is tax deductible. So you can add your receipt to your tax return and make the government actually fund education for these kids in need.

If you’re able to donate please use this link.

Tuesday’s Tips

Today I’m introducing some props that you can use at home to help replicate the tower springs and straps.

A few cost effective items will help you add challenge or reduce load if needed. These items can be essential to your home workout toolbox.

Monday’s Mindfulness
My new video on mindfulness
This short practice is to help relieve and reduce the intensity of chronic pain and stress. If even for just a short period.

Something is better than nothing.

You can use this practice at any convenient moment for you and make it as short or as long as needed.

Focusing away from the points of pain or stress is important at first to let the mind and body welcome in the pleasant sensation you choose.

Then while still focusing on this sensation send it to those points that are speaking loudly. Send it with kindness, compassion and gentleness. Let your chosen sensation calm the points of pain and stress even for just a moment.

Use a slow breath to let your whole body feel the calming nature of your intentions.

Go in peace.

Saturday stretch
We use oppositional forces Im stretch too. Pulling a limb one way and pushing in the other. This helps create our longest stretch and over time may increase our reach while in stretch. Remember to honour your body and only push/pull as your body permits. You can hold these stretches up to 60 seconds if you want to increase flexibility. While performing long hold stretches do not bounce in the stretch.

Friday 5
This week we’re looking at the oppositional forces in the box shape. Here are 5 ways in which this box gets pulled and pushed around in pilates.

Wednesday’s workout
Thinking about the concept on internal power and oppositional forces we use these to perform these exercises to help internalise this concept into a pilates practice.
While this week’s focus is in the rectangular box shape with minimal flexion we do also use this concept in other shapes our bodies make.

Tuesday’s Tips
Today I’m looking at internal ‘energy’ and oppositional forces. We use these all the time in Pilates. While one limb/side is pushing or pulling in one direction there is always another limb/side that works in opposition. This helps us create stability and helps with balance. It also makes us use our whole bodies. While some exercises could be done passively, we find that this is largely ineffective and well, isn’t actually doing the exercise as it is intended.
Keep thinking about these oppositional forces using internal energy throughout your pilates practice.

Just a little bit away from the goal to assist a child for 2 years of their education.

Did you know that:
$36 provides a book pack
$165 provides 3 primary school packs
$360 provides 10 book packs
$695 supports a child for a whole year of schooling!!

That’s why I’m running 100K this month. To help raise money for the items above. Because Schooling is a right, and it should be available to all. Please help me support Aussie kids in need. If you aren’t able to donate please like and share.
