Beginners Pilates Day Ten

If you’ve ever left a Pilates class feeling unsure… here’s what a great class should feel like—and what you can expect in mine: 1. Your instructor is fully focused on you, not busy doing the whole workout alongside you, so you get proper coaching, observation, and support throughout. 2. You receive individual corrections and guidance to improve your technique, helping you move better, stay safe, and get real results. 3. Every exercise comes with clear progressions and regressions, so whether you’re a beginner or more advanced, you’re always working at the right level for your body. 4. Movements are slow, controlled, and intentional, building strength, stability, and true muscle activation rather than relying on momentum. 5. You’re consistently guided into optimal alignment, including neutral pelvis and spinal positioning, to maximise core engagement and reduce strain. 6. Breath is a key part of every session, helping you activate deep core muscles and move with control and confidence. 7. Your safety comes first, with time taken to understand injuries, conditions, or postnatal needs so your training is tailored and appropriate. This is what Pilates should feel like.

We have all heard recently on the news how beneficial strength training is for your general health and wellbeing. It is also a key part of training as a cyclist. It can feel difficult to fit it all in and you may find that strength training seems to hinder your time on the bike. You can do both you just need to plan your week better. The rules are simple. 1. Protect your hard training sessions, like intervals with a rest or active recovery day before. 2. Fuel for the amount of training you are doing. 3. On double days, ride first. And if your schedule isn’t perfect, that’s fine. Consistently doing both in an imperfect order beats skipping strength training every single time. Swipe through for two sample weeks.
