Pilates is...
A relaxing and rejuvenating mat class that focuses on the entire body including the core. Each class concentrates on overall muscle conditioning
including stretching, flexibility, strengthening, toning, endurance and deep breathing. This promotes core strength, circulation, proper posture &
balanced body alignment which alleviates many clients aches & pains. Get ready to have your stress and worries melt away!
Pilates with Weights...
We begin with a variety of stretches & movements to warm up the body and prepare for the class. Hand weights & stretch bands can be added to the routine to build muscle tissue (something we lose as we age) and increase natural & every day metabolism (the rate we burn calories). The equipment
further promotes range of motion, muscle strength & recruitment while awakening and toning your muscles. The routine includes standing, seated,
balance and mat exercises that will build your concentration, bone mass & help to stave off osteoporosis.
Tues. @ 10:30 a.m. (Brown's Martial Arts in Waterdown) & Thurs. @ 7:00 p.m. (Carlisle Memorial Hall)
Pilates with Foam Roller...
The Foam Roller (a 3 foot long X 6 inch high solid foam roller which is provided to clients) is used throughout the routine to develop deep muscle
tissue, build strength, increase flexibility & assist with balance and proper body alignment. The class begins either seated or standing and includes a repertoire of exercises to stretch & warm up the body. The routine & intensity then begins to "roll" as we stretch, sculpt & strengthen all the muscles
using the roller for a complete & rewarding overall body workout. Weights & stretch bands can be added to boost natural metabolism & build much
needed muscle tissue. Wed. @ 7:00 p.m. (Carlisle Memorial Hall)
Blast Class with Stability Ball...
Time to burn off some serious calories, promote weight loss & blow off everyday tension & stress. The stability ball is used from start to finish in this 1 hour power packed class which begins with 15 minutes of cardio to warm up your body & to get your heart, muscles and motivation pumping!
We then add hand weights to the workout to build muscle tissue and boost natural metabolism as we sculpt, tone and strengthen all our muscles with a variety of creative & fun exercises.
We finish with mat work & stretching to complete the overall "Blast" workout! Monday @ 6:15 p.m. (St. James United Church - Waterdown)
