22.01.2022 Having trouble connecting with your pelvic floor post partum? There are a number of factors that might be making it hard for you to activate and reconnect to your pelvic floor. .... 1 Your diaphragm works as part of the core to regulate pressure. Chest breathing can infact make it hard to help contract and lengthen your pelvic floor muscles. So check in with your breathing pattern and move towards diaphragmatic breathing.... .... 2 Your hormonal status. Estrogen has a huge impact on tissue function and for that reason during breastfeeding (when estrogen is lower) symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction can be worse. This also includes the weeks prior to menstruation when estrogen is low and progesterone is high. Incontinence symptoms may in fact feel worse during this time all thanks to your hormonal status. .... 3 Your posture will impact how well your pelvic floor can contract. Rib flaring and excessive lumbar lordosis (think big arching of your lower back) makes it harder for the fibres of your pelvic floor to contract. Try stacking your ribs over your hips to maintain a more neutral posture and connect with your pelvic floor. During all our Women's Health Assessments, Reviews & Classes we will teach you how to connect with your diaphragmatic breath and how to control your pelvis during movements to assist with greater pelvic floor activation.

21.01.2022 What assumptions do we hold in relation to weight? Do you believe, or have you ever believed, that an overweight person: Has a shorter lifespan? Eats poorly? Lacks self-control?... The prevalence of weight-centric beliefs is high in most western societies. However, if we consider for a moment the enormous diversity of natural body shapes and sizes due to genetics, ethnicity and so on, why do we not accept that those with larger frames are simply part of natural diversity, just as those with light or fine frames are? Research doesn’t necessarily support that body weight correlates to disease. Flegal et al. (2013), in their meta-analysis of 97 studies (2.88 million individuals and more than 270,000 deaths, of all-cause mortality among overweight and obese individuals based on BMI found, wait for it ..... That while grades 2 and 3 obesity (relative to normal weight individuals) did have a significantly higher all-cause mortality rate (higher chance of death) but, grade 1 (BMI of 30 to less than 35) and ‘overweight’ individuals had a lower all-cause mortality rate (lower chance of death). This research may disrupt what we thought we knew about body weight and disease. My question to you is regardless of your weight or the size of your pants. Are you eating enough vegetables? Are you moving daily? Are you not partaking in unhealthy behaviours like smoking and binge drinking? If you are creating healthy habits regardless to what the scale says you are creating a healthy body.

18.01.2022 3 tips to ensure you enjoy your first reformer pilates class. Share this post with someone that needs some motivation! .... Reformer Pilates can be an intimidating experience for many beginners, no matter what your fitness level! Here is some key things to remember when attending your first class. 1 Move slowly - The slower you move the more information your brain will get to help control the movement. Don't go to a class and think you have to keep up with anyone! Our tra...iners won't make you feel rushed, so try to not rush the movements. 2 It is your trainers job to ensure you know what you are doing, so if you don't understand or if you are getting confused its not your fault! It does take some time (5-10 sessions) to get use to the movements and understand how the reformers work, so don't feel bad if you are doing it wrong. 3 Focus on the fundamentals. When attending classes we will provide various options for different levels. Choosing the easier options does not mean you are being lazy or that you wont get stronger. We promote keeping it simple, ensuring proper technique and then layering on movements to challenge yourself. Still don't feel confident attending a reformer class? Comment below and we can book you in for an Assessment.

13.01.2022 This weeek we are recording final times for our plank challenge and launching our November Challenge. For November we are all going to work on our Teasers. Below are the following variations. The rules: don't progress unless you can confidently find and hold the previous variations for at least 15 seconds. Variation 1: Find your C curve, ensure your heels are lifted with just your toes on the headrest. Shoulders are away from your ears. You need to feel engaged through your a...bdominals. Variation 2: Start with your leg lifts. When we do our leg lifts we are aiming to get our shin parallel to the roof and also get our knee into our chest. We are working at strengthening through our hip flexors not just straightening out our leg. Variation #3 Find our Table top. Ensure your thighs are coming in towards your chest and your shins are forming a stable table. Find a hold hold for atleast 15 seconds then you can add in single leg extensions. Variation #4 - Find your full teaser with your legs extended. Find balance and control engaging through your core and shoulders back and down. Variation #5 - For this one you will turn around. You start laying down on your back and you are sweeping your hands and steadily finding your table top. You can hold for 10 - 15 seconds, roll back down and sweep back up again. Note: All pregnant clients will be positioned in the same way but doing arm work which is safer depending on which stage you are in.

08.01.2022 Having fat does not mean you are lazy. It does not mean that you don't know how to look after yourself. .... If you are going through menopause a lack of oestrogen can affect many areas of the body, the brain, the heart, bone and skin elasticity. The perfect youthful, thin, wrinkle free, healthy, balanced woman doesn’t exist, women exist in a state of ever-changing flux and our bodies work it out most of the time. We should be in awe of what they do.... Source: Fries, Webmed; Harvard Health .... Did you know that it is possible to feel less awful about your body and not focus directly on weight loss?
