Pilates and More

You’ve heard it before: use the best muscles for the movement. Give the other ones a break!

Alas, some of us have worker bee Nervous-Nelly butts — so busy gripping and clenching (“helping”), they start altering the mechanics of the pelvis, and they inhibit the activation of the transverse abdominis muscles.

That’s where YOU come in. Take time to tune in to your body. If you recognize derrière tension, slow down, and invite it to shift. See what happens.

Once you identify a pattern, you really can affect change. Not overnight, of course (and pressuring yourself may just get those glutes going). But, little by little, and with support from a Pilates instructor, if you’re lucky enough to have one you can call on.
