Pilates
If new to a Pilates practice, people often get frustrated as its a new focus on your body and how it moves. Without being led by a certified instructor, oftentimes you can move too quickly or try to make large movements and miss the point of the exercise. Without proper cues from your trainer, modifications and guidance with breath— you can risk the chance of injury and not activating proper muscle engagement. Pilates may not be easy right away and that’s okay! Allowing yourself to enjoy the process of learning about your body and moving in a new way can be fun and enjoyable, especially being led by a 1on1 Virtual trainer.
Pilates can be practiced at home with a yoga mat with little to no equipment needed. Pilates is an amazing way to get a low impact workout while streamlining long, lean lines through the body and focus on core engagement. While this style can vary by instructor and trainer, we at 1on1 Virtual hand-pick our trainers to bring you the very best certified Pilates instructors for one on one instruction.
