The Shakin’ N’ Bakin’ Pilates Workout…Not Your Ordinary Exercise Class The Shakin’ N’ Bakin’ Pilates Workout…Not Your Ordinary Exercise Class is a 60-minute precision, Pilates-based workout that has you working hard (shakin’) and sweating (bakin’). A combination of isometrics, Pilates (mat and standing), wallwork, Pilates ring and Fitness Circle are utilized to give you the best results in the shortest amount of time. Your body reduces in size, reduces bulk. We work on stretching, balance and focus on the muscle we are trying to strengthen. No squatting or lunging ever in my Pilates class. We want you to reduce your butt and thighs, not build them. Those who I work with do enough of that (simultaneous hip and knee flexion) in everyday life and their butts and thighs are already big. You feel great after the class, not worn out and can’t move.
I use techniques like PB2Navel to help you use and work your abs as they were intended. There is no such thing as upper and lower abs. Just abs (the ‘six pack’)you hope to see in front, the tranverse layer underneath (the girdle) and the obliques at the sides. You'll learn what moves work them fully and best. This class is intended for all levels of strength and coordination. Technique and quality is paramount and impressive; sloppiness and quantity is not and is possibly injury waiting to happen. Come observe if you’d like. We welcome you. What to wear: - Comfortable clothes
- Sneakers or easy on and off rubber sole shoes
What to bring: - A mat
- A Pilates ring or fitness circle 14-15”. Some are available. First come; first serve.
- A smile and a positive, ‘I’ll try it’ attitude. Pilates ring is not mandatory for class participation; but they are highly recommended.
