Level Up Your Fitness Experience with Pilates

Pilates is the ultimate leveling up experience in fitness. What other workout develops long lean muscles, strength, agility and grace? Really nothing because I have tried it all and Pilates is it my friends.

Pilates is having a resurgence in popularity and I along with that surge feel a renewed sense of appreciation for this incredible repertoire of precise movements that truly transform your whole body.

Over the years, well for the last 30 because I just turned 53, I have tried everything and have ALWAYS come back to Pilates. I feel lighter, stronger, and far more agile than in any point in my life and I have been an athlete my whole life playing competitive tennis and doing sprint to half iron man triathlons..

Pilates is a series of small precise movements performed on a mat or specialized equipment that uses spring tension for resistance. What you see in this picture is a Ladder Barrel. This particular exercise is called Tree. It works the whole entire spine and especially the core to strengthen the back and abdominals, hip flexors and extensors.

I recently took advanced level training on the Ladder Barrel in Tampa, Florida at the STOTT Pilates training center and it was absolutely thrilling. The sense of confidence I felt from doing these moves that increase strength and agility yet are so graceful and serene is almost hard to put into words. It essentially is the feeling that athletes get from being in “the zone” of total awareness of their bodies in action but in slow precise movements. And you don’t need to be an athlete to have that feeling.
