Have you ever tried a Jump Board Pilates class/session? Jump boards are my absolute favourite! Let me tell you why:
• When you first try a Jump board sesh, it’s going to 🔥 and you’ll probably be silently salty at your instructor whilst your glutes are on fire hah. But don’t be discouraged, take those breaks if you need them throughout. After a few classes you’ll notice how your body begins to strengthen, your endurance improves and how you can push yourself further each time (Golly, when I think back to my first few classes on the jumpbaords 😵💫) Don’t give up I promise it gets better!
• When you’re having a CBF kinda day/morning this session is the best because you’re literally lying down for a number of the exercises. Don’t be fooled though, you’ll still be working those legs, arms and core.
• It’s so much fun! In my experience it’s often a faster paced session and by the end of the class your heart rate is pumping. BUT you can absolutely modify the exercises and the pace, to suit where you’re at that day.
• Hello cardio! Whilst you can absolutely incorporate cardio into your reformer workout, jump boards enable a stronger cardio focus and honestly, I am a sucker for a cardio workout. 🏃🏻♀️
• Did someone say mental break? I find that if I need to distract my mind, reduce my thoughts or just simply release some energy, stress or frustration, a cardio session is the way to go. My mood improves, my energy levels improve and I feel a sense of accomplishment after the workout.
I could go on and on, but instead I will leave you with this. Jump board Pilates is a great way to get your heart rate pumping, to increase endurance, support coordination and to strengthen your muscles. So if this sounds like something you would like to experience, don’t just take my word for it, go and give it a go 😜💪🏼.
