Intermediate Path
Week #6 - We focus on Flow.
“Change happens through movement and movement heals.”
- Joseph Pilates
Week #6 - This week is my favorite of all the Pilates principles - FLOW. This is the moment when all of the pieces come together and you move in a way that connects you physically, mentally and spiritually.
NUTRITION TIP: Continue building on the healthy habits you have established. This week have fun and try a new recipe. I love this delicious spring / summer tomato salad by Yotam Ottolenghi. Here is the link.
HEALTHY HABIT: It is time to journal about this process. How do you feel differently physically, mentally, spiritually? What have you loved about the last 6 weeks? What has made you so proud of your self? What will you take with you into the next 6 weeks?
Some of the classes include the option to use props. Don't worry if you do not have a prop because each workout can be done without props as well. If you do decide that you'd prefer to use props here is a short list:
Foam Roller | Light set of weights - 1-3 lbs | Optional: Magic Circle | Theraband | Pilates Ball | Block to sit up on
Alternative choices: Water bottles for weights and Pillow for circle and block
Advanced Option: If you want to intensify your weekly schedule, add more time to the cardio and strength days and if you feel up to it, double up your Pilates class with another workout from the same week. But please be sure to incorporate the built in rest days by honoring this schedule I have created as they are an essential part of your training.
