Pilates can be done anywhere, anytime on the Mat, and with access and use of the apparatus, each of the exercises can be practiced on so many pieces of equipment. \u00a0It’s not a New Years resolution for me, but the new year always gives time to reflect on what daily activities we are or are not doing. \u00a0What things we may need to pay a little more attention to and which activities we can leave with yesterday’s trash.<\/p>\n
I am not suggesting that\u00a0daily self-practice pictures be taken and posted as I actually find it difficult to get my\u00a0work done on the body, when I am\u00a0worrying about what is or is not captured in the image or video. \u00a0That being said, the feedback given during self-practice video can be immensely helpful to see all the continual adjustments and refinements needed in your own work.<\/p>\n
Two of the areas I am always practicing to perfect with my own Pilates movements are my thoracic curve and my teaser scoop. \u00a0The basic exercises I\u00a0want to refine and perfect in my body that require theses movements are Neck Pull and JackKnife on the Mat and Overhead on the Reformer. \u00a0I have always hated these exercises and can find thousands of excuses to leave them out of my practice, as a result. \u00a0They\u00a0require every inch and morsel of my strength in thoracic curve and powerhouse scoop to perform. \u00a0So I keep them on my list and huff and puff to get through them. \u00a0But boy, they are not pretty on the execution. \u00a0#Justsayin’<\/p>\n
Two movements I do enjoy that are the rotation of the torso in Twist and the Teaser on the Wunda. It’s a great opener for the shoulders and chest and feels absolutely heavenly in the effort.<\/p>\n
Completing the movement gracefully is always an accomplishment. \u00a0It’s always work, because it’s not always easy.<\/p>\n
