PILATES FOR RUNNERS

Leave a reply

I am so excited that I am now an Ambassador for a company called Fitmark!  Fitmark specializes in sports bags that are perfectly designed for fitness without compromising style.  YAY!

Ok ladies, you know how the “shopping for a purse” routine goes:  First select it based on color, size, and style. Now ask yourself, “Will this look good with what I wear?”  Second, we must open it and inspect all the features of the purse:  “How will my wallet fit? Will this bag become a BLACK HOLE, or does it offer organization?  Where will I put my cell phone and will I be able to pull it out fast enough when it rings without making a scene in public?”  And third, “Is it a good fit for me?  Will it continually fall off my shoulder?  Is it the right length for me?  And on and on and on.  How happy are we when we find the perfect bag?  

Well this is why I love Fitmark.  Here we can shop for our sports/travel bag like we do a purse.  Cool right?  
 
You have to go HERE now and check out their bags!

Go take a look and see how even just one mat pilates session can improve your overall run!

Ok, I must put away the computer and get outside and enjoy this lovely day. 
Bye for now 🙂

TYE4® PILATES CLASS
This class will be a typical mat Pilates class, but I will integrate the Tye4 into every exercise making it a Pilates Reformer workout.  The Tye4 IS the reformer!  The adjustable bungees are like the springs.  The beauty of the Tye4…

  • ASSISTANCE.  Tye4 provides assistance for the exercises that tend to strain the neck or hip flexors or movements you don’t have the strength to do fully yet.  You will be performing exercises, like the teaser, that most people cannot do unassisted.
  • RESISTANCE.  The Tye4 will add resistance through a full range of motion that will challenge your muscles when called for.  You WILL feel it all over!  Working out using Tye4 is a very “Pilates way” of moving.
EXPECT LONGER, LEANER, TALLER, STRONGER!

If you are wondering what the heck PILATES is 
or thinking of joining my class,
 here are some facts to convince you that
 PILATES ROCKS!
  • This technique develops a strong core – flat abdominals and a strong back.
  • It will create long, lean muscles and flexibility. 
  • You can develop an evenly conditioned body, improve sports performance and reduce risk of injury. 
  • You will learn to control your body & gain muscle awareness.
  • It can rehab and strengthen joints.
  • Posture will improve 
  • You will see benefits in many areas of your life.
  • It’s a challenging, but gentle low impact way to exercise.
Pilates is an effective method of cross-training, combining flexibility, body awareness, breathing techniques, and improvement in the strength and stability of your core muscles.
These are just a few of the benefits.
