You may or may not have heard people talking about ‘posterior change’ in reference to our bodies. This refers to the muscles in the backside of our body, so all the way from the back of your head to your heels. We are talking about our hamstrings, glutes, calves, lats, rotator cuff muscles, and erector spinae muscles.
Due to the lifestyle we live today or anterior muscles, those on the frontside of our body tend to be stronger, more dominant. Yet we need a strong posterior chain for everyday activities such as picking things up of the floor, standing up, sitting down, jumping. A strong posterior chain will also protect us from getting injured and reduce our risk of knee or back pain.
This muscular imbalance between the front and back of our bodies can lead to injury and poor posture. This short workout using the Pilates bar focuses on strengthening many of the muscles in our posterior chain; what’s not to love ❤
Please listen to my cues, listen to your body and most importantly enjoy this very useful, practical workout that will help you function better in your active and everyday life x
Anyone following this class does so at their own risk. It is your personal responsibility to work safely and within your own limits.

I'm so grateful to have found you. Thank you for your kindness. It's really motivating and soothing. I've been doing Pilates with you for a month now, and it's been a wonderful experience. I love your workouts and I'm adding more of them to my routine as I go (I started with just one and I'm on seven now). As a 55 y.o. I'm learning to workout differently and you're making an important difference at this stage of my life. Thank you so, so much ❤

Hi Donna, I have done this practice a few times and it has gotten easier but more challenging at the same time as I focus on control and precision. Practicing pilates with you (especially as a newbie) has been so wonderful. Thank you so much 🙏💛
