Velo Core Mobility & strength Course

Key Pilates Benefits for Runners 🏃‍♀️🧘‍♂️ Pilates can be a game-changer for runners. Here’s how adding Pilates to your routine can transform your performance: • Improved Core Strength: Builds a rock-solid core for better posture, stability, and running efficiency. • Enhanced Flexibility & Range of Motion: Increases suppleness in the hips and hamstrings—key for smooth strides and injury prevention. • Better Balance & Coordination: Boosts body awareness and coordination, perfect for tackling uneven terrain. • Injury Prevention: Helps balance muscles and align joints, reducing the risk of common running injuries. • Improved Breathing Control: Teaches effective breathing techniques to boost endurance and keep side cramps at bay. • Active Recovery: Offers gentle, low-impact movement for recovery days, keeping you mobile without added strain.

Resistance bands don’t always get the credit they deserve. Often seen as a warm-up tool, they’re actually one of the most versatile and effective pieces of equipment you can use. Whether you're a cyclist, runner, Pilates enthusiast, or simply want to move better and feel stronger, resistance bands can make a huge difference. 💪 They help strengthen stabilising muscles, improve joint control, and build strength that transfers into everyday movement and sport. One of their biggest advantages is how they bridge the gap between mobility and strength. Rather than just stretching passively, bands help you: ✔️ Strengthen end ranges ✔️ Improve active flexibility ✔️ Build control where you're naturally weakest They’re also incredibly versatile. With just a couple of bands, you can: • Activate muscles before a ride or run • Build full-body strength workouts at home • Add challenge to Pilates exercises • Progress or regress movements to suit your ability Because bands require control and stability, they also improve mind-muscle connection. You can’t rely on momentum—you have to feel the movement. This makes them particularly effective for glute activation, core engagement, posture, and movement quality. Best of all, resistance bands meet you where you are. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced athlete, they can be adapted to your needs and grow with you over time. Simple? Yes. Effective? Absolutely. Come and join my online or in-person Pilates classes and learn how to get the most from your resistance bands. 📍 [www.movewilder.co.uk](http://www.movewilder.co.uk) #ResistanceBands #Pilates #MoveWilder #StrengthTraining #FunctionalFitness #MobilityTraining #CoreStrength #GluteActivation #ActiveFlexibility #MindMuscleConnection #PilatesAtHome #HomeWorkout #CyclistTraining #RunnerStrength #InjuryPrevention #HealthyMovement #MoveBetterFeelBetter #StrengthAndMobility

The Pilates Swan Dive is an intermediate to advanced mat exercise focused on spinal extension, core engagement, and strengthening the entire posterior chain, including the back, gluteal, and shoulder muscles. It is designed to counteract the effects of prolonged spine flexion from daily activities like sitting and texting, making it a valuable exercise for improving posture and spinal health.

✨ The Pilates Roll Down and press up : Your Spine’s Best Friend and one of the 34 classical Pilates moves✨ Looking for a simple move to stretch, strengthen, and center your body? Try the Pilates roll down! And press up. Watch the video here: https://youtube.com/shorts/XesoLEkemFQ How to do it: 1. Stand tall with feet hip-width apart, knees soft. 2. Inhale deeply, into the sides, back and front of your rib cage. 3. Exhale as you roll your spine down one vertebra at a time—let your arms and head dangle. 4. Pause at the bottom for a gentle stretch in your hamstrings and back (no need to touch the floor!). 5. Inhale at the bottom, exhale as you slowly walk out into a press up or as in the video do my variation with a twist to improve your rotational strength. 6. Once you have done your press ups move back to the bottom of your roll down. 7. Inhale at the bottom, exhale as you slowly roll back up, stacking your spine and lifting your head last. Why you’ll love it: • Mobilises and stretches your spine • Strengthens core and upper body • Improves posture and circulation • Perfect for warming up, cooling down, or resetting after sitting all day Pro tip: Focus on slow, controlled movement and your breath—never rush or force the stretch. It’s not about touching your toes, it’s about feeling your spine move freely. Tag a friend who needs this spine-lovin’ move! #PilatesRollDown #SpineHealth #MindfulMovement

Welcome to my stretch of the week! Hamstrings often get tight due to prolonged periods of sitting or inactivity, which keeps the muscles in a shortened position and reduces their flexibility over time. Additionally, muscle imbalances—such as weak glutes or tight hip flexors—can force the hamstrings to compensate and work harder, leading to overuse and persistent tightness Lying Hamstring Stretch (Supine Method) Watch the full video here: https://youtube.com/shorts/aLPAQOzvReU • Lie flat on your back on a mat or firm surface. • Lift one leg up, keeping it as straight as possible, using a resistance band will help. • Hold behind your thigh or calf and gently pull your leg toward your chest until you feel a stretch in the back of your thigh. • Keep your other leg extended on the floor, or for an easier option bend the knee and place the foot on the floor. • Hold the stretch for 30 seconds. • Now move the leg over the body and hold for a further 30 seconds, this targets the outer leg. • Finally move the leg out to the side, keeping the opposite hip on the floor for a final 30 seconds. • Repeat on each leg.
