Good Morning! Light Weighed Resistance In Fitness Pilates CLICK HERE TO WATCH If you teach FP in the community ask your participants to purchase a set of 1 or 2kg hand weights and bring them to class. Adding resistance brings a whole new dimension to many of the basic exercises and allows clients to experience FP in a very unique way. Teaching and coaching weighted resistance in a mindful and gentle way is especially beneficially for postmenopausal clients to increase bone density and muscular strength and endurance and increase the challenge an overload of FP exercises. I have filmed several weighted mini FP workouts the most popular being just using 1 x 1kg.   Ideal for a fresh approach to your September classes Check them out for inspiration and ideas.   Are you in the FP Instructor Facebook Group? Its a hotbed of help, ideas and support. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1139576346076922/   Fitness Pilates To Improve The Posterior Chain. Focusing a whole section or 50% of your class on the posterior chain can bring immense benefit to your FP clients in a very short space of time. The effect is immediate in so many cases, with clients increasingly “living” in a forward flexed position with the head forward, shoulders rounded and very little strength and tone in the upper back and posterior delts. Functional FP exercises are especially helpful for this. As we walk down the street we see people of all ages staring at their phone screens, looking down, shoulders rounded, slumping forward displaying  a variety of postural imbalances It has NEVER been so relevant. The good news is we can add simple posterior chain movements and functional exercises to have a huge impact. Why don’t you make September the month to specialise in improving the posterior chain for your clients? Elevate High Performance Coaching. In my opinion, all coaches need a coach. So often we are so ‘In” our lives and “in” businesses we cant see the wood for the trees. We “know” what to eat, how to eat, how to exercise, how to train, how soapily positive thinking and goal setting BUT why don’t we apply that knowledge to ourselves.   We can teach our clients but struggle with it personally. Why? Because we all need structures a programme, accountability and for someone outside or immediate circle to see the things we so often cannot. It can also her very intimidating as a Fitness Professional to join a group, get a PT or ask for help as we may feel that means we can’t do it ourselves and we worry about what our peers think or say. I have a created  a very safe programme for all my Fit Pro friends as that is what I specialise in. Helping Fitpros be the best they can be – with new ideas, new class concepts, exercise, diet and living a high performancelifestyle, seizing the amazing opportunities we have in front of us with technology and social media My  3 month Elevate Programme begins tomorrow and if you feel you need a health, nutrition, fitness and mindset overhaul I’d love you to join me CLICK here for all the information. https://www.kickstartfatloss.net/product/autumn-elevate/ Good Luck with your September launches and classes and I look forward to seeing many of you at the SUMMIT.   Best Wishes Rachel x
