Seriously, where are we in a hurry to get to?
Ok, my Pilates friend, there is so much going on here. I'm still working on this, so don't come after me for showing my less-than-perfect form ๐
๐บ Standing leg: stay grounded
๐บ Pedal leg: stay connected to the spring. Don't be in a hurry to lift up. Instead, press down!
๐บ Hips: square (yeah right ๐คฃ said my pelvis), and keep opening the front of the hip! Instinct will make it recoil and bend
๐บ Powerhouse: stay tall, rather than hunkering down into a defensive posture, like cartoon character thieves....exactamente, you know what I'm talking about! ๐ญ๐ฐ
Now you are ready for the Russian Split on the Reformer, and you can practice these concepts in your Single leg stretch on the mat.
Pilates is a system, not some cool set of made-up choreo designed solely to make your buns burn
When done correctly, you should feel your whole body light up, nervous system and all. We train so we can keep calm during storms and come out cool as a cucumber. Like our favorite suave and totally un-PC spy 007
Can you tell what favorite pastime I am missing at the moment? Any recs?
Pilates that makes sense, get stronger and progress, get what you paid for, no membership, no bill of sales. Pay for Pilates, do Pilates. Get the best you possibly can, not what is easy. Are you checking the equipment you work out on? If it's not clean, don't go back. I stand by this myself and you can judge for yourself. If I am not keeping my equipment clean, you have every right to demand a refund. Stay well, be well, and choose wisely friends
