Healthy MOVEMENT ROUTINE for the hips: Stretching & Strengthening

PILATES, the perfect training concept

...to strengthen your physical as well as MENTAL strength

Have you ever thought about Pilates being more than just a regular gym?

When I first came into contact with Pilates, I immediately realized that it was about more than just keeping your body fit.

Pilates is also about bringing the mind into harmony through specific movements and breathing exercises. This training concept thus strengthens not only muscles and fascia, but also resilience.

Pilates helps you process stress better and deal with stress more effectively.

And this is exactly the experience we would like to pass on to you. Not only on our YouTube channel EINFACH BESSER LEBEN, but also by writing our blog posts, which you can read in our Pilates Magazine, as well as through our new Pilates App, which you can download for free.

In today's LIVE program we will focus specifically on internal and external stability. We will do exercises that will strengthen your deep muscles and help you achieve an upright posture and better body tension.

Our agenda for this Pilates class:

Part 1: Warm up
Specific hip mobilization (approx. 10 minutes)
Go with the Flow: Breathing and Movement (about 5 minutes)

Part 2: Workout (approx. 30 minutes)
Inner stability for outer steadfastness

Part 3: Cooldown (approx. 10 minutes)
Active stretching exercises

Here is my recommendation, what you should always have ready for training:

• Training mat
• Towel
• A small cushion
• Yoga blocks
• Massage ball
• Flex tape

Preparation for the Pilates lesson:

• Ventilate the room before training.
• Prepare a cup of tea.
• Create a positive atmosphere in the room - e.g. candle, good scent, fine background music.
• Move cell phone, laptop, TV out of sight, hearing and reach.
