Yoga and Pilates are often bundled together and Pilates Rockhampton is breaking down the difference to help you make an informed choice about what is right for you.

Everyone agrees cardio exercise is an excellent way to burn calories and improve your physical and mental health. Furthermore, resistance or weight training is especially important to tone muscle to keep your metabolism high. Distinctively, Pilates Rockhampton Reformers Classes gives you a great combination of both cardio and resistance training.

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. In the past, the Rockhampton, Yeppoon and Capricorn region were pretty limited when it came to fitness alternatives. At long last fitness choices are growing and there is a personalised and unique Pilates exercise experience in Central Queensland.

Diastasis recti (also known as abdominal separation) is a common condition for postnatal women. Individuals with diastasis recti often suffer from lower back pain, poor stability and poor pelvis alignment due to weak stabilisation muscles. Pilates has proved to be an effective form of rehabilitation for diastasis recti.

Golf may look easy however the fact is golf requires muscular strength, joint flexibility, mobility and stability. The repetitive movements often lead to some muscles becoming overused and others weakening, causing an imbalance.
For a golfer, muscle imbalances can affect the legs, hips, arms, shoulders, and the lower back. Your drives may be shorter and less accurate, your stamina may decrease, and the risk of injury increases.

Pilates can relieve stress through relaxation, deep and lateral breath and mindfulness.
