PRAISE

"Dahlas, i just wanted to say thanks for your fantastic program. I loved going to the gym before falling pregnant but now it is difficult to know what I can and can’t do. I love that I really feel i’ve actually done something when I’ve finished your workouts and that it is safely benefiting both me and my baby."

A S L O W D E E P B R E A T H ?
🚴🏻‍♀️ Spinning, HIIT, boxing, aerobics, running …..there are so many forms of exercise that require us to work fast and hard. = YANG ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When it comes to Pilates, mobility moves, stretching, intentional movemor Yoga we get the opposite = YIN ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👌🏻 Slow, controlled movements that require concentration focus and awareness of your breath. Can be very hard to grasp at first...especially when YANG style works have been your GO TO (like me a recovering cardio-junkie)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There are incredible benefits to moving slowly and with intention (not high intensity)
1. It allows for more “time under tension” ! You will activate deeper muscles your never knew you had (...like in your core) and force your muscle to contract for longer ! This is challenging and builds fabulous strength 💪🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. A better mind-body connection occurs to increase muscle activation. This means that the more we concentrate on contracting a muscle the more contraction we will get. The more contraction we get the better strength gains we get – win win. 💪🏼 Functional and controlled movement also gives the opportunity to reduce any muscle imbalances. The best way to achieve this is ensure that opposing muscles (muscles that have opposite movement roles) are as strong as each other.
And to achieve this we need to control movements in both directions (e.g contraction and release) and this requires a focus on slow controlled movements. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🤗 When you move slowly you force your muscles to contract for longer. One misconception is that slower movement is easy but I honestly believe that the slow nature intentional movement is actually really tough.
👌🏻
Best of all you also encourage activation of slow twitch (endurance) muscles which play a huge role in posture....which is essential during pregnancy and postpartum
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💁🏻‍♀️So next time you think you need to ‘go fast or go home’ slow it down, take a breath and enjoy the slower (BUT not easier) pace of intentional movement !
Stay tuned for my next Functional Pilates #homeworkout session on IGTV and with @active_life_fitness launching on Monday ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
