Bitesize Pilates for Strength

Pilates ‘is not a system of haphazard exercises designed to produce only bulging muscles…just to the contrary, it was conceived and tested with the idea of properly and scientifically exercising every muscle in your body’. Joseph Pilates 1945
 

Bitesize Pilates for Balance

Pilates called his system of exercise ‘Contrology’ because it is the ‘complete co-ordination of body, mind and spirit and through 'Contrology' you first purposefully acquire complete control of your own body’.

 

Move More Freely

Today's focus is helping your body move with a little more ease.

Notice where movement feels comfortable.

There's no need to force anything.

Every small improvement matters.

 

New to Pilates....No problem

As with anything new it can take awhile to learn and get the hang of. But with practice you make progress.

So you don't feel out of your depth and overwhelmed, I'm going to help you out with sharing with you the basics of Pilates. I've put together a guide to help you understand any new terminology, new positions and explained the key principles of Pilates.

Bitesize Pilates for Posture

Joseph Pilates wrote in 1945 ‘Contrology develops the body uniformly, corrects wrong postures.' 

 

Bitesize Pilates for Energy

Pilates himself said that Contrology ‘restores physical vitality, invigorates the mind and elevates the spirit. It stirs our sluggish circulation into action and your brain clears.’

 

Time for You

Today's session isn't about burning calories.

It's about slowing down.

Breathing.

Moving.

Giving yourself permission to spend fifteen minutes looking after yourself.

There is nothing to achieve today.

Simply notice how your body feels before and afterwards.

Reflection

How do you feel compared with fifteen minutes ago?

 

Your fitness will never be a chore again!

If you have enjoyed doing Bitesize Pilates, building strength and feeling good about yourself in an achievable, flexible and sustainable way then you may be thinking 'what now?'. I'd like to continue all the progress I've made whilst doing this taster bundle of Bitesize Pilates. I value my health and want to keep going.

Hi, I'm Gila - your Bitesize Pilates Instructor

Instead of telling you my life story, here are 3 things about me that might surprise you…

I’m not a fitness fanatic

You won’t find me in a sweaty gym, lifting weights or doing crossfit! You won’t find my out running round the streets, I just don’t enjoy it! I don’t drink protein shakes and fitness isn’t my top priority, my health is.

Any activity I do, I do because I enjoy it. I have always danced since a little girl and I still do ballet now, because I love dancing and how it makes me feel.

I started to learn aerial silks a few years ago because it was something I had always wanted to do. It does of course improve your strength, but that wasn’t my motivation to do it.

I love Pilates, ever since I started doing it over 18 years ago. I love the fact I have to think about it, I have to concentrate and every time I do it, I am improving my control, precision, technique and challenging myself. Afterwards my mind always feels clearer, I feel energised and refreshed. I love how it makes me feel and that’s why I keep on doing it.

But I don’t obsess over workouts day in and day out. I care more about wellness, feeling good on the inside and out. I care about my health, my physical and mental health. I care about being active and enjoying doing the things in life I want to be able to do like running around with my children.  I care about keeping active as I get older so I can continue to be independent and do things I enjoy.

I focus on how I feel not how I look

In the fitness industry the focus all too often is about how you look, with young women with flat stomachs, big breasts, tanned skin and long eyelashes pouting or lifting weights.

This is unrealistic and can easily make others feel discouraged and ashamed of the way they look. 

I prefer to focus on how I feel and have made it my mission to help other busy women to feel better about themselves, improve their health and fitness, and make significant lasting changes to their lives without using how I look as a false and unachievable goal for others.

What you see is what you get!  We may not always look a million dollars – that’s not real life, but I want to help you feel like a million dollars. 

 My weakness… (one of them!)

We all have something that we find hard to resist… I absolutely love chocolate! Anything from Cadburys to more exclusive brands and individual homemade chocolate.

However, much I love chocolate and could happily eat it all day, I also know that doing that would not be healthy. But I don’t stress over it and deprive myself of it. My approach is everything in moderation.

It is about having a healthy and balanced approach to your life, enjoying life, living realistically achieving a balance in what you do.
