On the minute training
with Greg Sellar
‘On the minute training’ describes performing a complex of
exercises against a recurring timer over a set number of cycles.
The programming is performed as fast as possible using correct
technique. Within any minute time period, whatever you don’t
work for you use as recovery. The harder you work, the more
rest you get, with the programming starting again on the minute.
Double your fun with Partner Pilates –
Part 2: standing with Wendi Carroll
Following on from last quarter’s Partner Pilates workout, this time
we add the challenge of balance and resistance with dynabands.
These exercises take more concentration, control and practice
than seated versions. Despite Joseph Pilates calling his method
‘Contrology’, you’ll find that no one person is in control the whole
time. You’ll need to trust your partner and let go of the reigns a little.
