Core Moves

We're back! If you've had a long, relaxing summer now's the time to get back on the exercise wagon! Pilates classes start again soon or why not kick-start your fitness with some Reformer sessions to really get that lovely long & lean look.

Happily the new term coincides with one of my other passions - new season clothes and trends! So if you're thinking of combining the two, here are my top picks of great fitness gear that looks amazing too:
Pilates Leggings - always, always, always do the 'full moon' check in the mirror. You want leggings that don't go see-through! BAM's Enduro leggings are awesome, they're bamboo and keep you warm when its chilly or cool when it's hot, they feel amazingly soft on the skin. My 2nd pick is LuluLemon's Wunder Under Crops - new to the UK, but a well established brand in the US & Canada, these wash & wear brilliantly and look great. Neither are cheap - but with leggings you get what you pay for.
Vests & tops - SweatyBetty works for me every time for style, function and durability. All my SB tops get washed and worn at least twice a week, they never fade or lose their shape, are well made and there's loads of cool styles to choose from.
Sports bras - a tricky one as I've yet to find one that I love. However, for any sort of impact sport I've not been able to beat Shock Absorber.
Pilates socks - ToeSox every time and without exception! These are a-mazing dahhling! The toes look weird, but they really help your balance and control. The grips on the bottoms make sure your feet don't slip - great for when you're doing footwork or balance work on the equipment.

I look forward to welcoming you back to class and the studio soon.

Looking forward to this week's classes - 9.30am tomorrow at CS Berkhamsted, 6pm & 7pm on Wednesday at Halton. Honing those Summer bodies!

The last few days of rainy April. Don't forget the amazing half price opening offers only run until Wednesday - take advantage of a block of half price sessions to get in shape for summer!

I need a new playlist for the studio - what are your favourite workout tracks? Nothing too gentle, this is hardcore Pilates!
