25.01.2022 Are you sitting more now that youre spending more time at home? Well, heres a good reason to get up and move regularly... Research has found that in healthy p...eople, increased levels of sedentary behaviour and inactivity can increase levels of depression after just 7 days. Movement is vital for your mental health, and were not just talking about hard-core sweat sessions. Simply getting up regularly and going for a walk around the block, stretching or doing some gardening can help to improve your mental health. If you want some simple home exercises you can do to break-up your workday (or Netflix binge session!), head to our website. #ExerciseRightatHome

21.01.2022 Quadruped is a great exercise to do during the day to switch on your deep core muscles and spinal stabilisers. When we sit for long periods these muscles, which are meant to support our posture, switch off. We start to collapse through the spine, sitting in a round back position. This puts pressure onto the intervertebral discs and leads to our global muscles (big outside muscles) tightening up. Try getting up from your desk and performing this exercise to switch your deep m...uscles back on and bring attention to your posture. ... Set up with hands under shoulders and knees under hips. Lengthen through one arm and the opposite leg, until the arm is inline with the shoulder and the leg is inline with the hip. Aim to keep everything else still, watching that you dont drop through your lower back or head. ... Regression: If this feels too challenging to start with, try lengthening just one arm at a time, then just one leg at a time, instead of doing the arm and leg together. . . . . . . #exercisephysiology #exercisephysiologist #exercisescience #homeexercises #pilates #pilatesinstructor #matpilates #pilatesmat #sportsperformance #sportsspecific #rehabilitation #backpain #backrehab #thepilatesrefinery See more

18.01.2022 We all know that exercise is good for our bodies, but did you know that movement is medicine for your brain? Research shows that staying active throughout your... life can significantly impact your brain health! Not only does it reduce your risk of developing conditions like dementia and Alzheimers disease, but it can improve the function of your brain. Studies have shown that exercise can actually increase the volume of your hippocampus, which is the memory centre of your brain. Its also been found that those who participate in higher levels of physical activity have better cognitive function and learning skills that those who are less active. Moral of the story? Your brain needs MOVEMENT to stay healthy. For tips on living a more active life, head to our website. #MovementisMedicine #ExerciseRightWeek2020

15.01.2022 Finding Balance: With everything that is going on in our lives today it is easy to feel like we are being pulled in multiple directions. Instead of feeling calm, grounded, clear headed and motivated we start to feel stressed, anxious and chaotic and our health ultimately deteriorates. Finding balance is not just about balancing the physical things in your life like work, relationships and responsibilities, but is also about finding internal balance for your mind, heart and he...alth. By allowing yourself the time to find internal balance you will often find that the rest just falls into place. Try to set aside some time each day for you. Even if its just 5 minutes, it will make a difference. Exercise, meditate, read a book, whatever makes you happy and fills your cup. Its very hard to take care of others if you dont first look after yourself . . . . . . . #findingbalance #balancedmind #balancedbody #exercisephysiology #exercisephysiologist #meditation #pilates #pilatesstudio #yoga #mentalhealth #movementismedicine #exercise #pilatesinstructor #trapezetable #matpilates #pilatesmat #reformerpilates #pilatesreformer #iampolestar See more
