“Fancy giving Pilates circuits a go? Here are my top 5 reasons I love this class so much:

1. ELEVATE YOUR HEART RATE: Circuit training is an excellent way to elevate your heart rate and maintain it at a high level throughout the entire workout. This is achieved through short rest periods, which keep the intensity up.

2. WHOLE BODY WORKOUT: Circuit training allows you to target large muscle groups together, incorporating a mix of upper body, lower body, and whole-body exercises.

3. IMPROVE OVERALL FITNESS: Improves cardiovascular fitness but also enhances overall muscle strength and endurance.

4. IT’S GOOD FOR YOUR BONES: Incorporating weight-bearing and muscle-strengthening exercises within your circuit routine is particularly beneficial for improving bone density, making it a well-rounded and effective workout regimen.

5. PUSH YOURSELF! I want to encourage people to move in a safe place and to become comfortable with the discomfort of exercise, not to be afraid of it. In my classes we use modifications to suit your fitness level, I like to make it a challenge not a struggle!

Clocks have changed and it’s suddenly feeling a lot darker. Here’s my top tips to keep moving (with me!) through the winter months.
1. Book in to the same class each time each week so it becomes part of your routine (my block bookings are also cheaper per class than PAYG)
2. Plan to go to class with a friend, that way you can motivate each other!
3. Keep in mind that movement can help to support your immune system, helping keep bugs at bay.
4. If really do t feel like leaving the comfort of your own home, join my class via zoom instead.

Personally I am happy to invite our eight legged friend into my home , they keep the insect population in check which helps with spread of disease. But if you are not a fan, please take a scoop of conkers and place them around your home as they said to be deterrent for spiders, which I think is an old wives tale but they look pretty anyway.

The Mahic Circle is a great Pilates prop, and one I love to use in my classes. It was invented by Joseph Pilates himself, and legend has it he created the first version from the metal bands of an old beer barrel.
Whilst we may have moved on from then, the Magic Circle is still a great way to add extra resistance, supports stretching and helps to improve alignment. It’s often held between the hands to work the chest and shoulders or placed between the inner thighs to strengthen the adductors and core muscles. No need to fear it next time you see me hand them out in class 😉
