Ok, so have succumbed to adding a 5.15pm class on Monday...already got 3 who have changed from their 6.30 and 7.30 slot. Also going to add a Wednesday class at 5 - 6pm (cant do later as theres in the Hall table tennis from 7pm!!! how very dare they!!) also considering a Saturday morning class for August, not every saturday, but occasionally, using the Pilates Rings and the Bands so working with resistance throughout the class, hard work but quick results!! Isnt that what we want?
Saying that, my back was aching last night , probably a combination of sitting through 2 days of Pilates lectures (they know sitting for hours on ends bad for your back so why do the lectures like it??? nightmare...) and then sitting on a plane home, sitting in car to get home...and an early morning teaching session in Wheal Rose at 8.45am...was a blessed relief to get home and do Pilates on myself for an hour I can tell you!
Lectures were on Shoulder & neck...fascinating how posture around this area can affect your lower back & SIJ (Sacroiliac Joint to you & me)...did you know no muscles are attached to the Sacrum (5 fused vertebrae) and it only moves about 2 degrees..to strengthen it you have to work the muscles that make a sling across your body...dont look confused and think of a bandage on a broken arm...I mean, from the rear your Latissimus Dorsi (mid to lower back to your upper arm!))and your Gluteus Maximus (bum) and from the front your Adductors(inner thigh) and TA (abs), also outer thigh to help stablise pelvis, well thats more or less the whole body then...off to work!
