Reposting for our new ladies and anyone else who needs a reminder why plyo is such a key part of our classes!

Let’s talk plyometrics!

Everyone’s favourite bit of our classes, right?! 😉

So why do we do them?

💪🏾 Cardiovascular fitness - plyo moves get your heart rate up quickly. Strengthening your heart and lungs is a great way to reduce your risk of heart disease, stroke, and high blood pressure.

💪🏾 Plyometrics burn calories - most plyo exercises are total body moves recruiting lots of different muscle groups which means you burn through lots of calories. You’ll also continue to burn calories once you’re done (called excess post-exercise oxygen consumption), enjoying the benefits of a revved metabolism. Great news during menopause when our metabolic rates are declining.

💪🏾 Plyometrics strengthen bones and joints. The high-impact nature of plyo helps to increase bone density and strengthen connective tissues like tendons and ligaments. Your musculoskeletal structures have to absorb the impact of landing, and this stimulates the body to develop more structural support. This is so important in menopause, when you’re losing bone density and muscle mass due to hormonal changes. So as we like to say, the more stamping the better, as you’re producing more force which will stimulate more repair in your body, making you stronger.

💪🏾 Plyometrics are efficient! As you know from our classes, you don’t have to do much to feel the benefits!

💪🏾 Plyometrics improve coordination. We know they feel tricky sometimes, but these movements train the neuromuscular system to integrate movement patterns, which improves coordination and balance. Lighting up all those neural pathways also makes them neuro-protective which is crucial during menopause.

💪🏾 Plyometrics are fun! Well, we’ll let you decide on that one…. 😉 😊

Why do we keep talking about pelvic stability?

No doubt you’ve heard us in class remind you to keep your hips nice and still, your pelvis steady, and slow a movement down. There’s a reason we keep coming back to this: we’re helping you build strength and control that you can use in everyday life.

What does pelvic stability actually mean?

Your pelvis is the bony structure that connects your spine to your legs. The muscles around your hips, bottom, abdomen and back work together to support it and control how it moves. Pelvic stability means being able to manage that movement as you step, bend, lift or shift your weight.

Why does it matter to you?

A well-aligned and stable pelvis allows your body to move symmetrically, reducing the risk of overuse injuries and enhancing physical performance. When it’s not functioning properly, the knock-on effects can be felt upwards (lower back, mid-back) and downwards (hips, knees, ankles).

What are we looking for in class?

When we demonstrate an exercise, we’re looking at how you manage the movement as well as whether you can complete it. We’re encouraging you to be aware of what your pelvis is doing and to be able to correct its alignment.

For example, during an overhead march, tipping your whole body may allow you to lift your knee higher. But keeping your pelvis steadier makes more of the movement come from your hip, which is what that particular exercise is asking you to practise.

So when we suggest a smaller movement or a slower repetition, we’re helping you work on the intended skill. As your control and strength improve, we can build the challenge. Every thoughtful repetition is practice for the things you want to keep doing in daily life.
