Making the Most of your Online Pilates

For all those already taking advantage of my online Pilates and Back Health Toolkit, or those thinking of joining soon, here are a few tips to make sure you make the most out of ‘Jane Mackenzie 247’ Online Pilates!

Decide what your goals are when doing the online. Having a goal/outcome means you are more likely to do it, because you want to achieve your goal. It might be you want to complete 2 classes instead of one. Trust me you will feel the benefits so much more if you do it twice a week and it won’t cost you any more as you can do as much as you like. It may be you want to improve your core strength? Whilst all our classes work on this there are classes which work more on the abdominals. Improve your basics – we have lots of back to basic classes. It doesn’t mean they will be easy, but will really focus on the basic principles of Pilates to help you understand and apply it to every move you do.

Put dates/times in your diary to complete a class, the same as you would a face to face for your normal class. Set an alarm on your phone to remind you too. If you can put two dates/times that you know you have the time and is the best time for you to exercise. The same way we do face to face, if you can’t make your class reschedule it that week and stick to that time. Remember your goals – you want to achieve them. You will be so pleased you did.

Have a look through what is on offer online before doing a class to see what types of sessions are available and how to use the website. Visitors can see a preview here!… https://www.janem.co.uk/classes/all-pilates-classes/

Decide which device you will use. If you can use a tablet or laptop as the screen is bigger, but can be used on any mobile devise. Make sure that devise has enough battery to last the whole session, or you can plug it in. Lots of clients are connecting to their televisions too. For the standing exercises have your devise on a shelf or as close to your head height as possible and when you are on the floor up the devise on the floor on a diagonal from you, so you can glance over at it easily. You might need to move it around a bit to have it in the correct place for all exercises.

Remember your health should be important to you and keeping up your Pilates is part of that, so your goal is to do at least the same amount of classes each week, but see if you can complete more to get the full benefit of being able to do Pilates whenever you want to and where ever. Several clients are now doing the online when they go away to their holidays. It’s a great time to focus on you for a change and rejuvenate your body physically and mentally.

Happiness and health – Jane x
