Do you have an exercise ball lying around at home? Are you unsure what to do with it? In this series I will teach you fun, effective and challenging exercises on the ball, also known as a Swiss Ball, Stability Ball or Pilates Ball. Why do we use the ball? Think of the ball as being an extension of your body. During most exercises the ball is going to want to wobble around. This can be an indication of instability and weakness of the deeper muscles within the body. Using the ball encourages you to find a deeper connection, gives a fantastic core strength workout and improves neuro-muscular pathways, co-ordination and proprioception. Strengthening and developing all these things will improve your athletic ability and biomechanics and can reduce unwanted pain. Most of us lead very sedentary lives which leads to a weak and instable body. With practice these exercises will build super strength from the inside out! Don't forget to try and stabilize that ball as much as possible and allow the magic to happen!

This full body, no equipment, Power Pilates circuit will work every muscle in your body and get your heart rate up in just 12 minutes! So, if you’re short on time, space and equipment but you’re looking for a great workout, look no further! I sometimes find that the best workouts are short and sweet. In this session I have carefully designed a handful of moves that are both challenging and fun. Repeating the short circuit 3 times leads to overloading and exhausting the muscle groups, leading to greater strength gains. It is a misconception that great effective workouts have to be long and laborious. Remember to use the principles of Pilates within each exercise – precision, centering, control, concentration, flow and breath. Give it a go and let me know in the comments how you get on.

This creative mat Pilates class focuses on working the deep abdominals for a great core workout. This class starts out slow and simple, building a strong foundation to the session and progresses to bigger more challenging moves, taking you on a Pilates journey. Pilates is no ordinary abdominal workout, it works much deeper than that and gives long lasting, functional and transformative results. This workout doesn't only work the superficial six pack abdominal muscles, it works the deep internal core muscles; transverse abdominis, multifidus, the internal and external obliques, quadratus lumborum and the pelvic floor. These muscles are closer to the spine and pelvis and with regular practice will give support to your lower back, ease back pain, improve posture, improve athletic performance and improve the way you move day to day. From a more aesthetic point of view when these muscles are strong they give shape and definition to the abdominal area. The classical style of the class will also develop grace and poise. So roll out your mat and enjoy moving your body. Don't forget to subscribe to my channel!

This 20 minute floor barre will give you a ballet/Pilates fusion workout which will work every muscle in your body, building strength, flexibility, grace and poise. A ballet barre is typically done standing at the barre, however many of the exercises can be adapted to being floor based. This makes the exercises more accessible, and is often done by dancers so that they can slow things down, use feedback from the floor, challenge their body by working on a different angle, and really focus on attention to detail. It also means you do not have to be an experienced dancer to give these transformative exercises a go. Movement Tips: Move with intention and precision and develop your core strength by finding stability within the body. Don’t forget to find your flow to the meditative classical music and express the artist within. If you want more ballet Pilates workouts let me know in the comments.
