Marina Huxley Pilates

We'll go back to basics with this Pilates routine. Its never a bad idea to re-visit the important foundations of Pilates and in this class we'll do just that. Enjoy!

In this standing Pilates routine we'll be focusing on some lovely strengthening exercises for the lower body, working the feet, ankles, knees and hips. We'll add some arms in too, to mobilise the shoulders and improve our range of movement. A quick, but energising class! * If you have osteoporosis, I give modifications for a couple of exercises, so be sure to listen out for those.

We focus on glutes, hamstrings and hips with this class. You'll feel this one!

We use the band in this class, to add resistance and challenge to the matwork. If you don't have a band you can use a scarf or a pair of tights - something with a bit of stretch if possible. Light hand weights can be used instead of the band for some exercises.

A slow, stretchy class for you today. Take your time, come back to your breath and enjoy this time on your mat.

Take 20 minutes on your mat today to work your abdominals. A short but effective routine, you'll definitely feel this one!

We'll be focusing on the side body in your class today. Working the obliques, the waist, and the side of the hips. Its quite a challenging class with lots of rotation and strengthening and you're going to feel amazing afterwards!

In this class we'll be using my favourite piece of kit - the small inflatable ball. If you don't have a ball you can use a cushion or folded towel for some of the exercises, or you can do the whole class without the ball and you'll still work hard!
