Conditioning class for gardeners
PMP Focus • 28m
After several requests from you all, here it is! Pilates for gardeners.
Bill uses an exercise band for this session and focusses on key areas that are important for maintaining a happy and health body.
If you are doing this 'cold' and not warmed up, you may want to do our short pre class stretch session before hand.
REMEMBER - try and portion up your gardening into smaller segments and change activity regularly. E.g. 10 mins of pruning, 10 mins of potting, 10 mins of weeding. Break everything up with intermittent stretches - use some of the ones in this class to help. Remember your body LOVES movement and change. Continual repetitive actions can be tough on your body.

A great combination to our gardening conditioning class, or fabulous to do on it's own!
You also don't have to have been in the garden to benefit ;) -
Beginner to intermediate pelvic control.
This is a great floor based session for beginner to intermediate level work and is under 20 mins in length. The session looks at control of the pelvis especially into extension and rotation and working on buttock, deep tummy and pelvic floor muscles.
There are steady progressions on all exercises... -
Build your bone density!
Weight bearing is so important to maintain good bone health.
This is a great session especially for those:
- in midlife and beyond
- who have had a recent period of immobility / reduced lower limb weight bearing
- ladies who are peri / post menopausal
- those who are osteopenic or osteoporoti...
