SHOULDERS - KEEP 'EM MOBILE!

Great moves for tight shoulders .... that's me, you too?

No foam roller? You can do on the mat or roll up a bath towel tightly and lie along its length. Always move within comfortable range for yourself!

1/ Exhale and pull ribs in & downwards.
* Circles
* Arm reaches (get scapulae moving)
* Scissors
* Clearing snow or angel wings
* Elbow rotation (pronate/suprinate)

2/ Thoracic extension & massage
Mobility in this part of spine essential for good shoulder function)

Place upper back across roller, feet solid to mat with fingers interlaced behind head.

Inhale and open chest, keeping lumbar spine from overarching.
Try lifting bottom and use feet to move on roller, massaging around scapulae. Avoid neck or free floating ribs.

3/ Lots of videos like this to help you move well at home in my online library. Different video lengths, different body focuses and levels, using different props.

Moving with tower feels awesome. Little gap in my day for me to play. Wish I had towers for everyone!

JOIN ME THIS EVENING? I'm online on Zoom at 7.15pm if you need a solid, grounding Pilates class suitable for menopausal or post-menopausal bodies. 😉 I'll guide you and keep you safe! Focus this evening is on BONE HEALTH + BALANCE. We ground ourselves first, then move to mat for abs, hips and extension, followed by 20 minutes of standing leg and arm toning moves, hand weights useful. 😉. These clips show typical things we do in this kind of class. Class is FREE to subscribers to my video library, and to regulars who missed their in-person class this week. Link to book in bio! Or LIKE and SAVE these clips to try later - all in real time! 😉 #pilateseveryday #pilatesonline #pilatesstrong #movementheals #breathe #backhealth #functionaltraining #fitover50 #fitover60 #fitforlife #stottpilates #midlifewomen #menopausepilates #privatespilates #reformerpilates #schoolhousepilates #lagganstown #tipperary

MAT ON REFORMER

It's been a pleasure to see you all again this past week! Both on the mat and on the reformer.

Loving this little warm-up routine I've devised to include side-lying from mat repertoire for my reformer groups. Let's see how you like it!

USE THE WALL
I love using the wall like this to check-in with spine, hips/legs and shoulders/arms.

Start with hands comfortably wide against wall and walk feet back; keep knees bent initially while you reach sitbones away. Wriggle to tease out imbalances. Feel arm to shoulder connection on your back.

Find best angle for you to straighten legs, without locking out knees. Push to floor, push to wall!

Try it in as an inversion; creep feet up the wall, push to floor and push to wall!

Work up to a minute in both positions - feels like ages when upside down!

Join my extensive video library - lots of short and longer videos to get you moving safely. See website in bio 😉

REGULAR MOVEMENT BITES!

There's so much to be said for doing a few squats or hip rotations (or neck stretches, twists, side bends, cat/cows) whenever you can - if you're waiting for something (file to download, kettle to boil...)

This way you can easily accumulate 15 mins of good movement a day 👍 Great complement to a weekly class.

All of our joints need regular movement [ plus good nutrition and hydration ] to be pain-free or at least to minimise pain.
