Most of us hold stress in our upper backs, shoulders and hips. When we get stressed, our muscles contract and shorten and get very tight and weak. The most common complaints are headaches, back pain, neck pain and low energy. The Pilates for Stress Relief workout focuses on these specific areas and teaches you gentle exercises that help the muscles stretch and relax. Once the muscles relax, you'll notice that the stress has been reduced. You'll feel better after just one workout! Try it and see.
A free Ab Tutorial class is included with the Pilates for Stress Relief workout. The Ab Tutorial teaches you how to find and use the deepest layer of your abdominal muscles. This layer is important because when it is strong, it supports your spine so that you can move without pain or discomfort. Once you learn how to use your abs properly, you'll notice a huge difference not only in how you feel, but also in how you look because these are the muscles that will actually flatten your stomach!
For those of you who are visual learners, the workouts are accompanied by a PDF guide booklet that highlights the instructions and provides reference photographs of each exercise.
The workouts are devised and instructed by Sherry Lowe-Bernie. Sherry has taught fitness since 1982. She trained at the PhysicalMind Institute and is a PMA Certified Pilates Teacher with over 12 years experience. In that time she has encountered just about every ailment and injury and has created these easy-to-follow audio classes using exercises that are proven to work.
