Pilates Essential Principles
|
 |
-
CONCENTRATION - key element to connecting your
mind and body. Concentrate every time you exercise, use
the power of your mind.
-
CONTROL - Joseph Pilates' philosophy and basic
foundation was the idea of muscle control by the mind.
No sloppy movements propelled by momentum.
-
CENTERING - using the muscles between your rib
cage and hips leads to a flatter stomach, better posture
and back pain prevention.
-
BREATHING - improving blood circulation helps
us to relax. You eventually learn how to coordinate a
deep inhale and exhale with each movement.
-
FLUIDITY- emphasize grace of motion over speed
and don't isolate movements.
-
PRECISION- focus on one precise and perfect movement
instead of 10 sloppy ones

KETTLEBELLS-- www.proedgekettlebells.com
Looking to enhance muscle tone, build functional
strength, increase lean body mass and rev up your metabolism?
Cross-train with kettlebells! Want to round out your fitness
routine with a strength-training regimen, but dislike lifting
weights at a gym or health club? Give kettlebells a try!
Instructor Gus Petersen is the owner of ProEdge Kettlebells
and a longtime personal trainer at Cherry Creek Athletic
Club. He will be offering monthly introductory workshops
at Personal Pilates Plus beginning in December. Although
relatively new to the U.S. fitness scene, kettlebell training
has a rich history. This centuries-old Russian strength
training system has been a mainstay of Russian Olympians
and the Soviet Special Forces for many years. Over the past
two decades, kettlebell training has gained traction in
the United States, as military personnel, elite athletes
and, most recently, Hollywood celebrities have discovered
its outstanding strength, conditioning and flexibility benefits.
With the focus on breathing, muscle tension and core activation,
it's an excellent complement to Pilates training that delivers
fast, tangible results: Exponential strength gains without
excessive bulk, greater endurance, increased metabolism,
healthy weight loss, greater flexibility, overall body conditioning,
protection against sports injuries (and faster recovery)
& enhanced sports performance. Gus will also be offering
personal training and semi-private training in kettlebells
through PilatesPlus.
