Pilates
A controlled mat or reformer session: slow, precise core work logged by time.
How to do it
Setup
Mat or reformer, quiet space, neutral spine to start.
Steps
- Move through the chosen sequence slowly and precisely.
- Keep the deep core gently engaged throughout.
- Log the session by time.
Common mistakes
Speed: Pilates trades reps for precision; slow IS the work. Breath held on effort: the method breathes THROUGH movement. Gripping the neck in curls: the core curls, the neck rides.
Breathing
The method's own: steady, guided by each movement.
