Fitness Pilates Newsletter 23rd June 2019

 GOOD MORNING!

How are you and welcome to SUMMER! I have edited a mini FP Mash Up of little clips I filmed for Instagram this week @fitnesspilates1. Going to back to basics with the mini ball and single leg stretch but reducing the amount of support and stability.

Starting with both arms on the ground, taking the forearms away, moving into taking the arms across the chest to adding the arms in reciprocal action. The instability and balance challenge of the mini ball increases the core activation and proprioception and it’s wonderful for all levels.

You can also see a Plank hip driver sequence.

On these FP Basic exercises, the ACTIVATION BAND which is a thick Fabric Band with heavy resistance (think squeezing on your Spanx) is strong enough to assist with pelvic stability and alignment. Plus it won’t roll down or snap so provides a strong resistance for the muscles to contract against.

Level 3 and Level 4 Pilates 

We have added more Level 3 course dates until May 2020 giving you plenty of time to complete the pre-learning course work, workshop videos and pre-reading. Level 3 Pilates Diploma is a blended learning approach with 30 hours of online pre learning before the contact days. If you already hold the Level 3 A& P you don’t have to sit this exam again (phew!) The next course is in London  Virgin Active Barbican in September.

We will be offering Level 4 Pilates in London in November. Curriculum details and costings will be out very soon. Level 4 will run once a year in London once details are finalised. To express your interest send me an email or join in the thread on the FP Instructors Facebook Group. 

I hope these mini ideas spark your creativity this week and keep your content fresh and fun.

Let me know how you and your clients get on.

Happy Sunday
