Have you ever used a Swiss Ball?  If not let me tell you how much fun it is. 😀

Exercising with a Swiss ball (also known as a stability ball, exercise ball, or fitness ball) offers a dynamic and versatile way to enhance your Pilates routine. This simple piece of equipment can transform traditional exercises and provide a host of amazing benefits for people of all fitness levels. Here’s why incorporating a Swiss ball into your workouts is a great idea:

​

  • Improves Core Strength and Stability: Engages deep core muscles, enhancing overall strength and balance.

  • Boosts Balance and Coordination: Forces the activation of stabilizer muscles, improving balance, coordination, and body awareness.

  • Enhances Flexibility: Supports dynamic stretching and greater range of motion, aiding in muscle recovery and injury prevention.

  • Strengthens Muscles Efficiently: Adds challenge to traditional exercises, engaging more muscles for comprehensive strength building.

  • Supports Lower Back Health: Strengthens muscles that support the spine, helping reduce lower back pain and improve posture.

  • Increases Mind-Body Connection: Requires focus and concentration, improving body awareness and exercise effectiveness.

  • Ideal for Rehabilitation and Low-Impact Workouts: Provides a safe, supportive surface for recovering from injuries or low-impact exercise routines.

  • Versatile and Fun: Suitable for a wide range of exercises, adding variety and enjoyment to workouts.

  • Improves Posture and Alignment: Encourages proper body alignment and posture, both during exercises and in daily activities.

  • Affordable and Space-Saving: A cost-effective, compact addition to any home gym, suitable for all fitness levels.

​

No need to bring a ball, I can provide for the session, only 6 places for the in person workshop, so booking essential. 

Want to join on line, as long as you have a ball, no problem.

Gone are the days of the old school squeeze, lift and hold the pelvic floor. 

​In this workshop, you will learn that the pelvic floor muscles not only help us against incontinence but support our organs, reduce lower back pain and how we can respectfully understand the similarities and difference in the men and woman when training pelvic floor. 

​

Outdated Pelvic Floor Model                           

1. Only squeeze, lift and hold pelvic

floor regardless of movement of

exercise.   

                                                   

2. Treating the pelvic floor as an

isolated region of the body. 

                         

3.Incontinence is just a strength issue

and only trains excessive tension through

gripping.     

                                                 

4. Doesn't train the the fascia of the pelvic

floor.

strength, flexibility, and coordination.

issues and back pain.
