Not just aesthetically pleasing but rather the functionality and the ‘why’s’ behind strong calves

Toned calves create visual balance between your upper and lower legs. When the calves are defined, your legs look symmetrical and athletic. But getting to this point is focusing on why we strengthen calves;

• Your calves are the powerhouse of your lower legs and help you generate more force to move efficiently through performance or sports.
• Calves stabilize your ankles and feet, which also supports proper alignment in your knees and hips.
• Weak calves can lead to problems higher up or lower down the kinetic chain. Strengthening them can help prevent injuries like ankle sprains, shin splints, and Achilles tendinitis.

Pilates offers several benefits for your calves, both in terms of strength and flexibility. By incorporating both these principles, it helps improve lower-leg endurance and definition without bulkiness.

Why training in a class works

• Attendance - you show up because everyone else does
• Endurance - you push through the burn and the last few reps because the person next to you doesn't give up
• Endorphin injection - exercise has proven to give you a boost, but sharing the shakes combined with the banter starts your day the right way

Core Define Pilates offers trio equipment classes that'll guarantee all the perks above👆🏼

Core Define Pilates turns 10 years old, and to honour this milestone, I am immensely proud to celebrate my new studio space, and an expansion of equipment based Pilates classes. Its been a passion of mine for years specialising in One-on-one and duet sessions to achieve the absolute best for my clients and their needs from Pilates, but it’s now time to bring in some healthy banter, “make the circle bigger” and know someone else in class feels the burn too 🔥

Time slots are limited to 3 per class to still allow eye-to-detail. Embark on this new journey with me, and let’s create some magic

Happy 10 year Anniversary Core Define Pilates🥂

Core Define Pilates would like to wish every mom Happy Mother's Day ❤️

It's been a privilege to have taught many pregnant women, and continued the journey of Pilates after baby comes

Pilates itself is a bit of a mothership. You're never too old to be loved (or to feel the burn🔥), it doesn't judge a specific shape or size, and your Vo2 or fitness level is insignificant. It's a lifestyle choice, of which is filled with self-worth, endorphins and an hour of "me time" that all moms deserve
makes a difference ❤️

Friday fun facts "A la" Pilates style

- FLOW | In Pilates, flow refers to the quality of our movements. It's about achieving continuity, fluidity, and seamless integration of the body in every exercise. We might also find flow in the transitions from one movement to the next

- FOCUS | Pilates’ main focus is on your core, but you can expect strength gains in your arms, legs and other areas of the body. Movements and certain positions used to activate your core rely on the coordination of your arms and legs

- FLEXIBILITY | By incorporating controlled movements that emphasize lengthening and strengthening muscle fibres, Pilates promotes both flexibility and range of motion, leading to improved overall mobility. Tight muscles are known to increase risks of injury

- FATIGUE | Pilates can improve energy levels and reduce fatigue. Studies have shown that Pilates exercises can significantly reduce fatigue symptoms and improve overall well-being

That's why Pilates allows you to drop some F💣s in the studio, because the vocabulary above is totally legal😉

It's all in the detail
The importance of foot alignment

The feet are the foundation of the body when upright (standing, walking, running, padel). Any misalignment of the feet when in motion, results in compensation all the way up the kinetic chain.

• In Pilates, the importance of foot placement on the equipment play a vital role in engaging the correct muscles required for movement.
• This constant awareness during pilates often carries through and is applied throughout daily activities
• Pilates strengthens and stretches all muscles supporting archilles tendons, toes, arches, fascia, ankles, and into the legs
• Balance and maintaining a neutral foot stance helps correct supination and pronation

Start from the bottom up, and see what difference this can make
