Programme Description

Join experiences Pilates and Yoga instructor Jade in this fantastic Chair Pilates Programme. With low-impact movements, Pilates is an extremely effective way to get a full-body workout without risking injury. It also makes this programme suitable for people with conditions or past injuries.

Every session within this series focuses on a particular area of the body, with one class being a full-body workout. Included in this programme is a workout specifically for posture and office-based work stretching, as well as a class for hip opening and sciatica release.

All exercises are performed from a seated position, with the exception of one exercise during the 'Lower body' class, which requires you to stand.

The slow controlled movements of Pilates can sometimes leave people thinking it's easy; make no mistake, Pilates is still a tough full-body workout that provides results.


The benefits you will see include:

  • Improved core strength
  • Improved flexibility
  • Improved body control and equal development of both sides of the body
  • Increased muscle tone
  • Improved posture

Jade recommends doing 1 class per week.


Equipment

You will preferably need a chair with a straight supportive back, however, this is not essential as Carlie talks about using the core to sit up right as opposed to using the chair-back (where possible).

Remember to stay hydrated. Water helps fuel your muscles, so drinking before, during and after exercise will boost your energy levels, and may help to prevent cramp.
