23.01.2022 IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT STUDIO HYGIENE: Prevention of COVID-19 First of all, we hope all of our Clients and their Families are safe and well in these testing times.... As you all know, the world is currently experiencing a pandemic with the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19) At Active Pilates & Sports Therapy, we believe all of us play a role in helping in the prevention of this virus. Our Clients Health & Safety at our Studio are of utmost importance. We are being extra diligent at the Studio to help prevent the spread of this Virus and are taking some extra precautionary measures. First and foremost, we kindly urge any Clients that have been feeling unwell, have any cold or flu like symptoms, or have recently just come back from overseas, to please NOT attend the Studio until you have been cleared of the virus and are symptom free. This would be greatly appreciated and is an extremely effective way to stop the spread of this virus. Thanks so much.

If you would like some AT HOME PILATES practice, please do not hesitate to contact us for your program. Lots of love, The Active Pilates Team xxx

23.01.2022 LOVE LOVE LOVE THE CADI. This piece of equipment can really help you fire up all those little muscles in your Deep Abs, Shoulder girdle, Spine and Pelvis that you didnt know were there. This sequence is all about mobility of the spine, sequentially articulation one vertebra at a time using our Deep abdominal control. Its not an easy one done slowly. But I am a big believer of slowing it down when it comes to my Pilates practice. Mobility of you Spine can bring about a h...ealthier body generally. Unlocking the spine will keep your taller, stronger & more mobile no matter how old you are. #lovepilates #pilatesforeveryoneybody #cadillac #pilatescadillac #teaser #spinalarticulation #mobility #rollover

22.01.2022 A DAILY RITUAL Some choose their Green Goodness Juice while others a morning walk or swim combo.. but for me nothing is better than a little thoracic extension on the cadi. This is known as the Spread Eagle with feet a little higher, in the fuzzy straps. ... These special straps allows you to flex the knees and access your hamstrings. I have a mild scoliosis in my mid back so, like many, I can get very stuck in this part of my spine which brings tension into my shoulders & neck. This Pilates exercise makes everything better There are many variations of the #spreadeagle you do not need to be inverted to feel the goodness. You can also do this by simply standing. The articulation through your spine leaves you feeling so much more mobile, flexible & quite simply.. AMAZING Pilates is truly for everyone. Every exercise can be done in so many different ways. Pilates really does cater for everyBODY #pilatesforeverybody #flexible #mobile #freemovement #somethingforeveryone #articulation #spreadeagle #contrology #pilates #cadillac #trapeze

14.01.2022 I deliberately wore my lucky white pants for this occasion to demo one of my favourite Joseph Pilates Original exercises (its a love hate relationship) but boy does it get your Deep Abs burning This exercises is all about the Deep Abdominal Burn. If you are not feeling it in those ABADABAS then we need to tweak it to make sure you do. In this video I do demo a few progressions so you can ease into the true version of HUNDREDS... THE MUSCLES THAT WILL BE DOING MOST OF THE WORK WILL BE: DEEP ABDOMINALS Eg. TRANSVERSUS ABS OBLIQUES PELVIC FLOOR RECTUS ABS (6 Pack) If you want to increase your challenge with the Props you will also add more activation to: HIP ADDUCTORS (inner thighs) HIP ABDUCTORS (outer bum muscles eg Glute med/min) To take it down a notch, keep your feet on the floor or Keep your head & shoulders on the floor. Only progress the exercise if you feel the Ab Burn. No Pain on your lower back or neck at all. Let me know if I can help you with this one if you need some more modifications. Thanks so much for all your support, encouragement and laughter along the way. See you for Day 4. Dont forget to add your exercise requests also. For my pre & post pregnant clients, stay tuned as I have some great exercises coming your way too. Love Al x

13.01.2022 STUDIO PILATES. What is it all about . At Active Pilates we call our Studio Pilates Classes Equipment Classes to recognise the fact that you will be doing all of your Pilates Exercises on Pilates Apparatus (Equipment) So what is Studio/Equipment Pilates. . ....

Equipment classes offer a higher level of individual attention; classes are taught either one-to-one or in small groups of up to 3 clients. Equipment classes are particularly helpful in rehabilitating injury, aiding with specialised conditions and reaching specific training goals.

10.01.2022 EXERCISES THAT OPEN YOUR ARE ALWAYS A GOOD THING... This Pilates exercise on the cadi is know as the Spread Eagle & involves perfect control, concentration and activation of your muscles throughout your WHOLE BODY. Its a move that leaves you feeling amazingly stretched, open and free. ... Our Thoracic Spine can often get a little sticky as there are so many parts of our body attached to this part of our spine. Eg. your Shoulder blades and Ribs - so no wonder why it can get a little locked up in our chest/mid back. When we open our chest right up into extension, we can also unlock our heart! Allowing us to give & receive more LOVE Some might call me crazy, but I believe this to be true. Its just another little added bonus of Pilates #love #openyourheart #thoracicextension #spreadeagle #cadillac #pilates #somanybenefits @ ACTIVE PILATES & SPORTS THERAPY

09.01.2022 STRETCH IT OUT So grateful to be able to reopen our Studio doors - so I thought it was also a good time to talk about the STRETCHING that must be paired with the STRENGTHENING now that we are all getting back into our exercise routines A lot of us have used the last few weeks to rest & rejuvenate, which has been blissful. ... But ... as we all start to get back to our Pilates, Gym, CrossFit etc let’s remember with all resistance training must come an element of stretching those muscles out so that we can Train again without compromise to our Healthy bodies. Very simply - if we do not stretch & lengthen out tight/trained muscles, the next time you exercise you will just be tightening up those same muscles to the point where often pain/discomfort and possibly even injury can occur. This also can prevent you using the right muscles groups. Example: If your hip flexors are exhausted/tight, then your Deep abs often find it hard to Activate and switch on The problem = low back pain & achey hips! So it’s an easy solution: PLEASE INCORPORATE STRETCHING INTO YOUR 2021 DAILY ROUTINE TO LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE STRETCH CLASSES ON THE REFORMERS MONDAYS & FRIDAYS @ THE STUDIO with added foam rolling & trigger point balls for the hard to stretch areas #stretch #2021routine #goals #nopain #healthybody #resistancetraining #morestretching

07.01.2022 Are you all still hanging in there with me Sorry to overload your socials with this face & voice. I will only do 7 Days of Vids (3 kore to go) which will give you a full class of Pilates if you put them all together. Then from there, I will only post more on request or Privately Eg. if you want something new or toning/strengthening a particular body part or a modification on an exercise already given, just so I dont risk selling my Soul ... Today I am adding on from yesterdays vid (Day 3) Still very much concentrating on activating those Deep Abs, but now also focusing a little more attention on the OBLIQUES ( Side abs). BRING BACK THE WAISTLINE TIP 1: If you start to feel tension in your neck, focus a lot more on lifting your shoulders (not head) a little higher and relaxing your head into your hands a little more, you will feel those Abs under your Ribs burn & that is . If you are still tight in that neck, lower your head & shoulders down onto the floor & just really concentrate on the leg movement for now. TIP 2: Remembering the 2 Pelvic positions; Neutral & Imprint. Neutral Spine - for those who have been doing these exercises for a while & have strong Abs. IMPRINT Spine - for those who are new to these exercises and are still building that Deep Ab Strength. (Imprint is when you pretend you have a berry under your low back & you gently squash that berry with your lumbar spine using your Obliques a little more to protect your spine, think Hips closer to Ribs) Thanks again for tuning in & coming along for the lockdown ride. Love Al

06.01.2022 EXERCISE 6 IN LOCKDOWN - ARMS, SHOULDERS & POSTURE Before you ask. . . The answer is YES. I did deliberately wear pants that match the floor today On a more important topic tho... How the heck are you all feeling? ... Im not going to lie, today, I woke up feeling a bit SHIT. I am so grateful for lots of things & understand how lucky we are here in Oz, but still just felt that way. Maybe iso has Kicked in its monday I have no control over whats happening in the world What I can control & what I did do, was exercise. I always new exercise made me feel good, but yesterday it really lifted my spirits. All you need is 5-10mins (great if you have longer) and move that body and BOOM the magic happens. The doom & gloom feelings have genuinely lifted Come & join me today with the upper body exercises. Lets feel better together Love Al x

05.01.2022 My favourite PILATES piece. The Cadi is so versatile. It can rehab you back to great functional movement or it can lift your performance & take your strength to a whole new level. This little flow series incorporates a lot of spinal articulation in many ways. ... These Hip Rolls #pushthruwithfeet are great for Hamstring Strengthening, especially if you have tight hip flexors. Keeping your legs extended allows you to really fire up the Glutes & Hamstrings as well as those DEEP DEEP ABS. Combining this with the kneeling cat stretch in extension, flexion & rotation, really helps to keep your spine mobile in all directions. PLUS the bonus being it just feels absolutely amazing too. Come in for a Private or Semi Private Studio Class to experience the wonderful Cadillac & the other beautiful Pilates pieces #cadillac #pushthruwithfeet #catstretch #rotation #extension #flexion #spinalarticulation #healthyspine #healthybody #nopain #pilates #contrology @merrithew

After only one class most of our clients (even our Elite athletes) will say Jeez, I didnt even know I had muscles there or WOW, ive never felt those muscles ever before. Be your best self. Try Pilates. You will never look back. . @robsmith1983

02.01.2022 Pilates can re-shape & re-mould your body in so many amazing ways. Our bodies love to use our big Global muscles in our everyday lives to help us move. Not a bad thing. However, In Pilates we balance that up by focusing on the use of our small stabilising muscle groups around the body a little more. Strengthening up these little muscles can bring about less pain and dysfunction in our body as well the ability to tone those stubborn areas as well. ... Our classes are designed for everyone of all abilities. Try our Starter Pack $99 #pilates #toneup #stabiliers #smallmuscles #hipstretch #lunges #reformerpilates #contrology
