FreeStyleFitness Pilates ................New Day-New Time FITNESS PILATES is a group exercise class using static and rhythmic exercises and routines loosely based on the Pilates principle of muscle contraction and simultaneous breath control. I am advanced level 3 instructor. The technique involves strengthening the muscles around the centre of your body these include; your abdominal muscles, the muscles in your lower, middle and upper back- the muscles that are responsible for your posture. FITNESS PILATES focuses on the deepest supportive muscles that support and control the spine and abdominals. |

The Technique Involves breathing in and contracting your pelvic floor muscles and your abdominals at the same time .This can be quite difficult to master and will take time to practice and learn. On breathing out you increase the intensity of the contraction as you move your legs and/or arms. What will FITNESS PILATES do for me? Freestyle Fitness Pilates will strengthen and rebalance tight and weak muscles thus helping to prevent future injury. Should I do FITNESS PILATES if I have a bad back? After checking with your GP or Physio first. Pilates will stretch and lengthen tight muscles around the spine.

| I have tried Pilates but didn't feel very much happening?
It takes time and practice for the brain to use muscles that have stopped working effectively due to injury, childbirth or surgery. Be patient you will see gains in your flexibility, posture and abdominal area. Is it different to traditional Pilates Most definitely YES! FP is a group exercise class and you may be exercising with 25 other participants, I am assuming you are fit and injury free. If you want specific exercises for specific problems you need to go to a specialist Pilates class where you will have an assessment prior to giving you a program and work in a small group. Will FITNESS PILATES give me a flat stomach? It can help but only if you combine Pilates with healthy eating and aerobic exercise, like my Cardio and Core class.
