⚖️ “Why do we always practice balance in class?”

Because it matters more than you think.

Balance isn’t just about standing on one leg. It’s about how steady you feel walking down the stairs, reaching up to a high shelf or stepping off a kerb.

In Pilates, we train balance to:

✔️ Keep ankles and feet strong

✔️ Improve coordination and control

✔️ Support your joints

✔️ Reduce the risk of falls or stumbles

✔️ Help your body react better when things don’t go to plan

Good balance isn’t just for athletes, it’s everyday movement. And the good news? It can be trained. Even if you wobble. Especially if you wobble.

Every time we work on it in class, we’re building strength, stability and confidence from the ground up.

So yes, we will keep doing it 😉

And yes, it’s worth it. Give this balance exercise a go today.

Balance

😅 Sunday Pilates

😅 Sunday Pilates or Sunday pretending to do Pilates?

You know the one…

Mat’s out ✅

Legs in the air ✅

Bit of stretching ✅

But mostly lying there wondering what’s for dinner and whether you’ve got any clean clothes for Monday 🤔

It still counts.

Rest is part of the plan.

And if you do a little movement between the thinking and the yawning, even better.

Sunday doesn’t have to be all go, go, go. A bit of stretch, a bit of breath, a bit of you, time, that’s more than enough.

✨ You’ll find short, easy, to, follow sessions in my Summer Sessions pack, just press play and move however much you feel like. Check out www.dawnchambersfitness.com/book-online to find a session for you.

🧠 Did you know...

Your core isn’t just your abs?

In Pilates, your core is everything from your shoulders to your hips, front, back and sides. That includes your deep abdominal muscles, back muscles, pelvic floor and even the muscles around your ribs.

When we say “core work”, we’re not talking sit ups. We’re talking about the muscles that hold you up, help you move well and protect your back. This is why Pilates works so well for posture, pain and daily strength, it trains your body to work as a whole.

It’s not about looking a certain way. It’s about feeling stronger, more supported and more mobile in everyday life.

💻 You’ll find core, focused sessions in my Summer Sessions pack, no crunches required. Check out www.dawnchambersfitness.com/book-online for more details
