How’s your balance ?🤔

In our Physio-Led Pilates classes we always include standing exercises which challenge our balance 👌🏻
🦵🏻We often don’t test our balance until we lose it and have a wobble or fall over
- As we all get older good balance is essential to reduce our risk of falls and injury
- Balance exercises are also really important to help maintain bone density 🦴
- Improved balance can also reduce your risk of injury during sporting activities 🎾 🏉 🏏 🏀 ⚽️🏃🏼‍♀️
- Balance exercises can be practised through the day, standing on 1 leg whilst brushing your teeth 🪥 or making your ☕️ (remember to hold on for support to begin with)
- Give yourself a goal I.e. 5 seconds on each leg and increase to 10 seconds as able.

Another Super Saturday of Physio-Led Pilates Classes! 👏🏻

Here’s a great example from our Level 3 Power & Precision Class of how to build strength & endurance in the quadriceps (thigh), gastrocnemius & soleus (calf) muscles:

✅ Feet wider than hips and toes turned out
✅ Ensure level pelvis and maintain this position throughout
✅ Keep your chest lifted
✅ Choose how low you want to go down and hold your squat (lower = more strength & 🔥 in those muscles)
✅ Hold squat position and slowly lift one heel up and then down on each side Repeat x6
✅ Then both heels up and down at same time Repeat x6
👌🏻 To build the endurance repeat x2-3 sets and get those legs feeling 🔥💪🏻👌🏻🥰🧘🏼‍♀️

👍🏻 Great addition to your running, sports training or strength & conditioning!

We’ve got a lovely shoulder and upper back series featured in our current Level 3 routine. It’s a beautiful way to release built-up tension in the upper back while improving mobility and control.

Use gentle core engagement to stabilise the pelvis so the movement stays where it should—through the thoracic spine and shoulder joints, not the hips. And of course… don’t forget to breathe 💫
