Send us a text
Looking to unlock the hidden potential of Pilates for your running routine? Wonder no more, as Lucy Tomlinson, the founder of Welcome to Pilates, illuminates us on the transformative power of Pilates for runners. With specific exercises and a breakdown of the progression through Pilates, Lucy helps us understand how it can fortify core strength, enhance ankle stability, and lead to an overall improvement in fitness. And there's more – ever heard of Bar? It’s an intriguing fusion of ballet and Pilates that could bring a new dimension to your running performance. Common beginner errors are also tackled, so you won't be stumbling in the dark when you start out.
Transitioning to the specifics of a Pilates class structure, we unpack exercises from the timeless 'hundreds' to the dynamic 'single leg stretch'. Lucy guides us through the nuances of targeting specific muscle groups like hip muscles and glutes, and intensifying workouts with resistance bands. She also emphasizes the role of correct breathing – a critical aspect that many beginners tend to overlook. Whether you're a runner curious about incorporating Pilates into your regimen, or simply interested in learning more about this exercise form, you'll find plenty of insights in our rich discussion with Lucy. So, lace up your running shoes and get ready to embrace the Pilates revolution!
