It's that time of the year again:

The time when you can almost smell the fruitcakes, suncreen, laughter, and relaxation....

BUT

You still have a few weeks of bills to pay, a 6-7am alarm blaring in your ears, dropping the kids at school, rushing to woolies/spar for a last-minute meal prep before the 1pm trafic in Kokstad, and pushing for that last gym session for that summer BOD.

☆The last month of 2023

Remember to slow down and count your blessings for 2023.. It's about small steps every day --> the hard part of the year is over.

Dynamic VS Static:

Everyone knows that stretching should be part of your exercise routine....
BUT
Not everyone knows WHEN to stretch and WHAT type of stretching techniques to use:

WHAT is Dynamic and static stretching? 🤷
▪️Swipe left to see the difference between the two techniques.

WHEN should you stretch?
▪️Before exercising
▪️During exercising
▪️After exercising
▪️As part of your daily routine --- best time is after a hot shower/ bath when your muscles are moist and relaxed
▪️During long periods of static sitting (desk work)
▪️Whenever you feel like it

WHEN to use dynamic and static stretching:

▪️Dynamic:🤸‍♂️
🔸️It has been shown to improve flexibility
🔸️It increases power output
🔸️It increases neuromuscular activation
🔸️ Thus is can increase performance
🔸️Best BEDORE and during exercising

▪️Static:🧘‍♂️
🔸️ It improves range of motion of joints
🔸️It improves flexibility
🔸️ It helps with muscle recovery
🔸️It can affect performance: you "deactivate" the muscle with static stretching
🔸️Best AFTER exercising

Bend... so that you don't break

P I L A T E S : 🤸‍♂️

Pilates is a form of low-impact exercise that aims to strengthen muscles while improving postural alignment and flexibility.

Pilates moves tend to target your core - the center of the body from which all movement stems - , although the exercises work other areas of your body as well.

You can do Pilates with or without equipment, but no matter what you can expect the moves to involve slow, precise movements and breath control.

B E N E F I T S : 🧘

1. Increases core strenght : stronger core = protected back
2. Improves posture
3. Decreases back pain
4. Prevents injuries
5. Increases energy
6. Improves balance
7. Enhances body awareness
8. Decreases stress
9. Improves flexibility and mobility
10. Improves cognitive function
11. Enhances sport performance
12. Improves sleep and mood

Here at the Flex Studio we offer pilates classes.
