This class starts standing using movements to warm up and mobilize the spine and all major joints. The first half of class you’ll continue to be upright working on squatting movements, lunges, planks and balance work. We’ll add in props like hand weights to challenge coordination and work the arms. The standing leg and arm work will feel similar to moves we do on the Pilates reformer. The second half of class moves down to the mat and focuses on core work, spinal articulation and glute work using props like the Pilates ring and mini band. Your instructor will offer modifications for each fitness level in class however it may not be right for you if you have any injuries or pain that might be exacerbated by squatting or lunging movements.
In this boot camp styled class we will combine free weights, personal training and traditional Pilates body-sculpting exercises in a fast-paced class. This class will work those key muscle groups to the point of fatigue and then lengthen and stretch those muscle groups to give you the kind of body that is strong and contoured, yet long and lean.
