Some Pilates hills weāll happily die on ā°ļø and hereās why....
1. Harder isnāt always better. ā”
Pushing past your limits too quickly may compromise form, leading to your body compensating elsewhere, or even injuries instead of strength gains.
2. Pilates should meet you where you are. š±
Whether youāre starting Pilates, recovering from an injury or working towards goals, your workout should adapt to your body, not vice versa.
3. Soreness isnāt a measure of a good workout. š„
Muscle soreness often means you introduced a new stimulus or load. Real success shows up in better mobility, efficient recovery, improved posture, and how good your body feels day to day.
4. Progress is measured beyond the mirror. šŖ
Physical appearance is a tiny fraction of what movement offers. Real progress looks like carrying groceries without pain, and moving through your day with ease.
5. Your core is more than your abs. šÆ
Itās a misconception that your core is only your abdominals. Oneās functional core is a system composed of the diaphragm, pelvic floor, transverse abdominis, and deep back muscles; we often say the core starts from the ground up.
6. Fancy exercises arenāt always the best exercises. āØ
Complex movements may look great, but simple movements performed well win every time and will help you build up to advanced movements. Never skip them.
7. Posture is more than just sitting up.š§š¾
Optimal posture should not be forced. āSitting up straightā usually just creates tension in your spine and body. True posture is when youāve strengthened your core stabilizers, back, glutes and shoulders so your kinetic chain is integrated.
8. A ātightā muscle may not need stretching .šŖ¢
Sometimes tight muscles may be crying out for stability and strength, not more stretching.
9. Pilates is for every body. š«¶
Pilates isnāt reserved for a specific age, shape, or strength level. Regardless of your experience, we teach Pilates for every body, every day.
