Dr. Mehmet Oz recommends pilates

Dr. Mehmet Oz recommends Pilates for back pain

What are some exercises that’ll help prevent lower back pain?

No matter what kind of tattoo might be adorning your lower back, it’s not going to be all that appealing if you can’t clip your own toenails. That’s why now’s the time to make sure your back has the strength to handle the load you ask it to carry – at work, on hikes, through the mall, while dancing on poles, all the time. If you want to stave off the crippling effects of a lower-back meltdown, the most important thing you can do is work the foundation muscles in your body’s core. These muscles – especially the ones in your abdominals, which oppose your back muscles – help provide the support, muscular strength, and stamina to prevent back injuries. Do core exercises three days a week to work your abdominals and lower-back muscles. And don’t forget exercises like lunges and squats, which strengthen your core by placing them on a firmer foundation.

The exercise preferred by more than 9 out of 10 rehab specialists is Pilates, which emphasizes movement through the use of our core muscles, those closest to the spine. Instead of performing more reps, Pilates focuses on performing fewer, more precise movements that require concentration, control, and proper form. The most successful programs for back rehabilitation are those that creatively integrate traditional Pilates with props, like big balls, resistance bands, or balance disks.

Even cardiovascular exercise has been shown to help with lower-back pain because it keeps you moving, so you can strengthen your back muscles to help protect you from injury.

Happy Mother’s Day

We wish all of our hard working mothers a most wonderful day today. As a mother myself I am so proud of the dedication that my clients have to their workouts, alongside their families.

Hi all,

Well, it looks like we’ll have to have our Open House in June- I am testing the current teacher trainees on Level 2 on May 23rd and am excited to help Jill Cassady as a fellow tester.

We’re gearing up for Summer so step up your workout with the arm weight series you can do anywhere, ask your instructor to show them to you. Great for those pesky triceps and JUST in time for the beach.

Seeyou in the studio,

Rachel

Happy Valentines Day everyone. I hope your 2010 workout schedule is to your liking- if not, then talk to me!
We have changes at the studio this month- there will NOT be mat classes anymore and we are very excited to welcome Will Caton and his anti-aging exercise program that incorporates the amazing power plate.
He’ll offer private sessions and classes (maximum of 2 per class) in the mornings.They are 30 minutes and trust me that’s long enough working on these machines with Will.
It is the perfect combination to your pilates regime!
Look for more information in our newsletters, if you’re not on our email list please email us at info@classicpilatesbody.com and we’ll put you on it for all the latest specials and information.

Changes to group mat classes

claire — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 18:24:44 +0000

Well, due to interest earlier in the day we are moving Maya’s Tuesday 12.30pm mat class to 10am instead- there is no Thursday 12.30pm mat class as of this week. Duet class interest is definitely building, but there is still room in the 7.30am classes so sign up now!

Happy Halloween

Duets Begin

claire — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 18:21:07 +0000

So we started our Duet “classes” today. They are basically a duet (two) people working on all of the equipment with the one instructor.
So far we have Tuesday and Thursdays at 7.30am with Emory and Wednesdays at 7.30am and 10am with Irene.
They are a sign up class, so that we don’t anyone dropping in and the class is full- no disappointments that way!
$45 for a single class
$40 each if you buy 5 or more.
Cheaper than some reformers that have as many as 8 people per class and you workout on ALL the equipment, not just the reformer.
Call for more information and to sign up.

Duet classes

claire — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 21:47:10 +0000

Well, we have changes going on in the studio and are gearing up for fall. We are now going to offer duet classes and will definitely have 7.30am Monday through Friday classes starting in October. There is a possibility of them becoming trio classes down the line but for now it’s duets.
We would love to get your feedback on other times that you’d like to see.
Thanks to all our wonderful new clients, love the dedication!

Summertime.

Hope you are all enjoying this great Summer weather- walking along the beach holding in your ‘powerhouse’ Then lie down and do your “series of 5″ and a teaser on the sand- well it’s an idea for you….

We are getting more equipment at the end of August, so TRIO classes here we come! Email me with your preferred days and times you’d like to see these classes offered.

The mat class times have changed alittle so check out the website for the latest times.
