“Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness. Our interpretation of physical fitness is the attainment and maintenance of a uniformly developed body with a sound mind capable of naturally, easily and satisfactorily performing our many and varied daily tasks with spontaneous zest and pleasure.” -Joseph Pilates

It is well understood that many factors contribute to weight loss and physical health including nutritious food, movement, adequate sleep and plenty of water. Anti stress techniques like meditation and walks in nature all aid in a healthy body weight. But exercising has consistently been shown to be the key.

Pilates has many benefits in shaping the body. We tone and strengthen the body without creating bulk. We create a leaner body because of the use of full range of movement in the exercises as well as shape the waist through the detail of core activation. The breathing patterns in Pilates also aids in the nourishment of the muscles and relaxation of the mind.[/vision_accordion]

“If your spine is inflexibly stiff at 30, you are old. If it is completely flexible at 60, you are young.” -Joseph Pilates

There is a large body of scientific research demonstrating that the most important component of the management and prevention of spinal problems is regular spinal movement and conditioning exercise.

Pilates recognises that it is the brain that controls the mobility and stability of the body and that this is a multidimensional process. Kinaesthetic focus, motor learning, rhythmic breathing, individualised practice, and global core control are all engaged as part of Pilates practice to facilitate activation of specific muscle groups in a planned functional sequence, emphasing not just strength or flexibility, but also the quality, precision, and control of movement.

This makes Pilates the safe and smart way to keep your spine healthy and moving well.

“A few well-designed movements, properly performed in a balanced sequence, are worth hours of doing sloppy calisthenics or forced contortion.” -Joseph Pilates

From the moment you commence the ConsciousControl Pilates series, you’ll notice that every movement is narrated including entering and exiting the exercise. This is meant to engage you mentally and physically to bring your attention to the task ahead. This also allows you to focus on all the instructions that are spoken as there are many aspects of coordination required. Most importantly, the work is in the movement.

The challenges to your core strength and stability come from the movements themselves and not just the end of the movement. The words Conscious and Control are what makes this series effective in your development and progress.

The most important aspects to your safe progression is in your understanding of each exercise and the accurate execution of them. With this comes strength and control of your body which will enable you to progress to the next level.

I recommend finding time for at least 3 sessions per week of Foundation Essentials for a minimum of 2-3 months before progressing forward. Once you are familiar with the sequences, you could add Pre Performance Pilates to your daily routine which only requires 15 minutes of your time.
