Real Men Scoop their Powerhouse!

I’m not really into following sports or a favorite team, but I love to watch athletes move. I’m fascinated by the body’s ability to retain mechanics to repeat successful actions. I’m also intrigued by the fact that we build so many compensatory actions that we are completely unaware of ( that’s another post!). In celebration of Baseball and our beloved Giants, I thought I’d post this article that one of my clients sent me.

If it’s good for Aubrey Huff, it might be good for you too!

Are You Getting the Most Out of Your Pilates Sessions??

I often encounter individuals who feel that Mat is too EASY. I always giggle inside because in my mind Pilates Mat is the hardest! To get a strong workout in a mat class, you have to be willing to go that extra mile to not work hard but to work correct. Pilates is not like being at a gym and powering away at a bunch of reps, (don’t get me wrong I hit the gym too!) it’s about controlling every aspect of your body from, alignment, to breath and yes, that nice deep burn in “powerhouse” that we Pilates fanatics love so much!

Here is a cool article I found on common mistakes a person make in a Pilates class that I completely agree with, check it out.

I found this article online and thought it was a good reminder of how alcoholic beverages can really hinder your fitness goals. While I’m a believer in everything in moderation, I’m definately thinking twice about that after work cocktail! It’s my personal to goal to grab for a few glasses of water and a little protein before hitting a cocktail hour!

Ever used the excuse that you just don’t have enough time in your day to get in that extra pilates class or 20 minutes of cardio a day? Try it in the morning!! Yeah, it’s a little rough to get going those first few attempts, crawling out of a warm bed an hour earlier is tough but it could be a great way to make sure your fitting in your fitness goals. I am currently offering a Basic Mat Class in Belmont at 7:30am. Come on in, get stretched and scooped before heading off to work!
