" 5 Reasons Men Should Do Pilates:

There's a reason your girlfriend can’t get enough of Pilates classes—they work.
From a stronger core to better s*x, here's why Pilates is great for guys, too.

While women tend to dominate Pilates classes, Pilates holds plenty of benefits for men who rise to the challenge—yes, it's hard.

Whether you're a powerlifter or prepping for your first marathon, a Pilates class can help fine-tune your performance.

How? Exercises are made up of subtle, concentrated movements that can help you do the following:

1. Develop often neglected muscle groups. Some of your muscles, like those that dominate your daily movements, are stronger than others, and a big part of Pilates is focusing on those muscles that don't typically get a lot of attention.
Pilates is similar to MAT training in that you conciously move in certain ways to build muscles that you don't hit while lifting.

2. Improve flexibility.
In general, the more muscle mass you have, the less flexible you are.
But Pilates' focus on stretching helps prevent injuries and muscle strains, and increases range of motion.

3. Build core strength.
Every Pilates exercise focuses on using your core to power movement in your limbs.
Pilates also hits your transverse abdominals, the base ab muscle under your six-pack.

4. Live more consciously.
Pilates forces you to pay attention—you've got to focus on your breath while working through each movement and concentrating on proper form.
After a Pilates session, you'll feel refreshed and relaxed, which can even carry over into the next day if you're lucky.

5. Have better s*x. 👍🏻
Pilates strengthens the core and the pelvic floor, and men who practice it have greater control of this region of the body--need we say more?

So to all men out there ...

Please call NuFit Pilates so I can help you to strengthen the core and your pelvic floor so u can enjoy your s*x life😜

Let's PLANK together 👍🏻
The importance of CORE strength.

Abdominal muscles must provide support for our entire back and spinal column. In doing so, they also play a vital role in preventing injuries.
However, for them to perform this function successfully, our core muscles have to be strong and trained on a regular basis.

What this means is that doing PLANK exercises daily is a great way to strengthen your core, and in doing so, support your spine.

So, what would happen if we "planking" daily one would ask ??
And here we are, the benefits of PLANK:

👍🏻 improve core definition and performance👍🏻
Planks are an ideal exercise for the abdominal muscles exactly because they engage ALL major core muscle groups including the transverse abdominus, the re**us abdominus, the external oblique muscle, and the glutes.

The importance of strengthening each muscle group cannot be underestimated either, for all of these groups serve their own purpose.

Transverse abdominis:
👍🏻increased ability to lift heavier weights.

Re**us adbominis:
👍🏻improved sports performance, particularly with jumping.

This muscle group is also responsible for giving you the renowned six pack look.

Oblique muscles:
👍🏻improved capacity for stable side-bending and waist-twisting

Glutes:
👍🏻a supported back and a strong, shapely b***y.

Doing planks is a type of exercise that allow you to build muscle while also making sure that you are not putting too much pressure on your spine or hips.

According to the American Council on Exercise, doing planks regularly not only significantly reduces back pain but it also strengthens your muscles and ensures a strong support for your entire back, especially in the areas around your upper back.

Planking is an excellent way of challenging your entire body because doing them daily will burn more calories than other traditional abdominal exercises, such as crunches or sit-ups.
Isn't it awesome 😜😜cause lots of us simply dislike crushes and sit-ups...

The muscles one can strengthen by PLANKING on a day-to-day basis will ensure that you burn more energy even when sedentary.

This is especially important if you are spending the majority of your day sitting in front of a computer.

Also, making it a daily 10- to 1 minute home exercise before or after work will not only provide an enhanced metabolic rate but it will also ensure that that metabolic rate remains high all day long, (yes, even while you are asleep)...... I love ❤️ that part ....👍🏻

Doing planks greatly improves your ability to stand with straight and stable posture.

Through strengthening your core you will be able to maintain proper posture at all times because muscles in the abdomen have a profound effect on the overall condition of your neck, shoulders, chest and back.

Have you ever felt that when you tried standing on one leg, you couldn’t stand up straight for more than a couple of seconds?

Its because your abdominal muscles weren’t strong enough to give you the balance you needed.

Through improving your balance by doing side planks and planks with extensions you will boost your performance in every kind of sporting activity.

Now let's talk about flexibility which is a key benefit of doing planks regularly, for this form of exercise expands and stretches all your posterior muscle groups – shoulders, shoulder blades, and collarbone – while also stretching your hamstrings, arches of your feet, and toes.

With a side plank added in to the mix, you can also work on your oblique muscles.

This will provide you with further benefits when it comes to hyper-extending your toes, a movement that is crucial for supporting your body’s weight

Planks are one of the most effective exercises you can do.
Why? Because they require a small time investment on your part, and offer lots of great benefits 😄😁

💕Happy New 2017 Year to all💕
Let's Start the year fresh and hit that reset button.
Have you created any fitness goals for your wellness journey?

I think most of us make those new year resolutions just to fell out of it in a month or so ?

As I think about that, I'm so grateful to have found Pilates which is the perfect mind body method to help us age with strength, flexibility and grace.

As Joseph Pilates said, "In 10 sessions you'll feel the difference, in 20 sessions, you'll see the difference and in 30 sessions you'll have a whole new body."

This is a New Year, so allow me to help you to create a New Healthy and Vibrant You!

My wish for you this year?
To see you ALL in my NuFit Studio👍👍

BACK PAIN RELIEF
Here is a quick trick to reduce back tension and improve posture.
Each morning, afternoon, and evening do 3 sets of 12 reps of this move.
It helps compensate for the fact that we spent much of the day leaning forward in our cars and at our computers.

STEP 1:
Stand with feet hip distance apart, knees slightly bent, arms downward, elbows LOCKED ..

STEP 2:
Lift arms, still LOCKED, until they are straight overhead.
Bend backward as much as you can, comfortably, stretching your abs.
Hold for one second, then return to the first position.
