Pilates is strength training and a vigorous Pilates workout breaks down muscle, which is how muscle fibres strengthen. But unlike high intensity strength training, Pilates Rockhampton focuses on movement with functional alignment, coordinating the recruitment of muscle groups in a particular order. For example, if you were sitting on chair and lifted a foot, the first muscle to activate should be the hip flexors. However, our larger muscles often dominate and take over the movement. Each and every Pilates Rockhampton class is different; ensuring to provide a different combination of balanced movements including flexion, extension and rotation of muscle groups while consistently activating deeper stabilising muscles.
Many of our goals relate back to our happiness, health and fitness. However, through the course of the year we may be getting bored, plateauing or even distracted with the daily grind.
