Some winter faves….all about keeping the muscles limber & the body warm 🔥

⚡️ Pilates exercises that incorporate multiple muscle groups are a great option if your time poor or want to lift that intensity

⚡️ PLANK • SUPINE BRIDGE • LATERAL WORK • HAMSTRING & CORE

⚡️ Well rounded strength, flexibility & movement control is achieved!

⚡️ Let me know your favourites or if you have any Pilates related questions!

Also , I decided it’s cold enough to double down on the warmth…Pilates by the fire today! 🫣

A not so summery Summer occupied with Splash 💦 Bike 🚴🏼 & Run 🏃🏻‍♀️

Concluding with the prize of hearing 📣 ”Fiona…You are an IRONMAN”

Race week panic including dosing myself with Omrub - Organic Muscle Rub anti-inflammatory muscle rub & CLIF Bar Builder Protein Bars. 🧡❤️

Along with Pilates Sports Clinic keeping the body oiled and primed to move well. 🌟

The post race aftermath has followed an almost identical approach…taper & recovery are quite similar it seems and equally important!

Highly recommend having plenty of taper, race day & post race recovery tools at hand to make the whole process a lot more successful and only just as painful as it needs to be!
