Chair Pilates (FitXpress)

Exercise doesn’t have to be stressful and exhausting. Increase fitness participation using Pilates, a calming and low impact exercise discipline.

Rather than rushing participants through a jarring, fast-paced exercise routine, leaving them tired and unsettled, introduce them to Pilates, which focuses on breathing and body alignment and effective movement rather than repetitive movement. Participants will get a workout and feel rejuvenated.

Chair Pilates is a 35 minute DVD mind and body exercise production that emphasizes core strength. The array of benefits associated with performance of Pilates include improved posture and alignment, greater flexibility and mobility, increased range-of-motion in and around major joints as well as enhanced body awareness.

Proper posture and effective breathing patterns are reinforced throughout the work out along with emphasis on harmony of mind, body, and breath. These exercises are performed in a chair to the tune of calming, peaceful Pilates-style music, and are appropriate for anyone regardless of age or capability.
