✺ Frequently asked questions ✺
-
No! The classes are designed to build you up gradually, starting with the fundamentals and slowly increasing the challenge as your strength, mobility and confidence improve.
If you have any concerns about a particular exercise, you can refer to the Modifications & Tips Guide in the Pilates section, which provides alternative options and helpful advice on technique.
-
Yes! The Pilates method is a safe and effective form of exercise that is generally suitable for everyone.
However there are some conditions that need more consideration:
OSTEOPOROSIS
Many of the exercises in the Pilates program are suitable for people with osteoporosis and can be highly beneficial for improving strength, balance, posture, and overall bone health.
However, some exercises place load on the spine and are not recommended for individuals with osteoporosis.
For this reason, you should not begin the Pilates section of the program without first receiving guidance on how to modify certain exercises to ensure they are both safe and effective for you.
We recommend booking a private session with Katie in addition to the programme so we can discuss your individual needs, assess any specific considerations, and provide personalised modifications to help you exercise with confidence.
HIP AND KNEE REPLACEMENTS
If you have been cleared to exercise by your healthcare professional, the exercises within the Pilates program are generally suitable for individuals who have had a hip or knee replacement.
If your surgery was recent or you are returning to exercise after a period of inactivity, it’s important to work within your own comfort level. Start gradually, use any recommended modifications, and slowly increase your range of movement and exercise intensity over time as your confidence and strength improve.
-
You don’t need much equipment for the Pilates sessions. Just a mat, some 1 kilo hand weights and a medium strength resistance band
-
We’ve designed this as a six week programme. Each week will introduce a new topic of nutrition education with a 10-15minute module video and supporting written information. And then you are given a nutrition challenge to work on over the course of the week.
The pilates videos are approximately 20minutes long, you could chose to do one video a day or do two or three videos together and do this two or three times a week, spending a couple of weeks on each level.
You have lifetime access to all the videos and course materials though so you can do all the aspects of the course completely at your own pace.
-
No, we all have different tastes and lifestyles, different members of our household and many other things that may impact our food choices, so fixed meal plans rarely work long term. The nutrition element of this course is about giving you the knowledge and skills to build your own eating plans. There’s lots of inspiration though, including recipe sections and some example meal plans.
-
Yes, because it is not a fixed plan it’s giving you knowledge and skills that can be applied with any dietary choices or restrictions. There are plenty of ideas to suit different needs and some suggestions of where certain things can be adapted to suit different requirements.
