Aerobics can be challenging and on days when you’re not feeling too coordinated, it’s helpful to have a neighbor you can follow. In classes like step, kickboxing, and even hip hop, it’s extremely helpful. In fact, it’s literally survival of the fittest – and the most coordinated!
Participants in a Pilates classes should approached it differently. You may notice that some instructors forgo music or demonstrating the exercises. These different approaches help you zone in on feeling, not just doing Pilates. We were taught to cue in a very specific and vivid way that helps you connect your mind, body, and spirit. You’re challenging yourself each time you take class to draw your belly deeper, glide the shoulders away from the ears, lengthen just one more inch!
Every once-in-a-while it may help to turn to the left to see if your neighbor is on the right track so you can follow, but honing in on the instructors’ cues and quieting your mind of whatever happened that day can turn your Pilates class into an intense and invigorating experience.
