Kings of endurance
with Stephen Parker
Endurance is your body’s ability to perform, work or be active
over an extended period of time. There are two main physical
aspects of endurance; cardiovascular, which is the body’s heart
and lung capacity when functioning, and muscular, which is the
body’s muscular strength under load exertion. An indoor cycle
class provides excellent training for both aspects of endurance,
either as a whole class or an individual terrain track. This video
showcases a great example of endurance cardiovascular training.
The art of balance
with June Jones
Balance is essential for everyday activities and affects how
we move – yet loss of balance is common as we age. Adding
standing balance exercises to your Pilates class can enhance
participants’ concentration and awareness – and help improve
their sense of alignment. I like to teach balance work that
includes an upper body activity: you can progress participants
to this from a simple single leg balance if and when they are
confident to do so.
