Breathless Session This is designed as an easier introduction Sprint Interval Training (S.I.T.). It varies from High Intensity Training (H.I.T.) by being shorter and getting to exhaustion quickly then taking longer to recover before the next round. Warm up for 3 to 5 mins first to get breathy. You can manage your own session by running up a hill, indoor cycling, battle ropes or similar til breathless. Ideally you want to be breathless and your body needs to stop after 30 to 45 seconds, but sometimes you need to build so it might take slightly longer. Recovery will tend to take at least twice as long as your 'sprint' and may take up to 3 mins. Make sure you can breath with mouth closed before starting next sprint. Repeat each session twice a week at most so you can fit around your usual weekly exercise and Tone. Leave at least 48 hours between these sessions to allow for your usual weekly exercise and also recovery. Do not do on same day as Tone so your body has replenished energy to fully commit to each type of exercise. Session recordings are limited at the moment as my neural damage doesn't react well to speed at the moment. However I wanted to provide the option, and I think this illustrates how not all types of exercise suit every body.

Tone, how to?

Tone Session This is designed as an easier introduction to using weights that can be done at home, but still intended to tire, tone and strengthen muscles. Warm up for 3 to 5 mins first. Follow and repeat each session twice a week at most so you can fit around your usual weekly exercise. Leave at least 72 hours between these sessions to allow for your usual weekly exercise and also recovery. Vary session as required. with or without different weights. Give your body time to adapt, the purpose is tiring muscles and energising, not tiring, your body. Come back in later weeks to repeat or modify sessions to suit your body.

Tone and Breathless, what is it about?

By Carole Barrie on 29 April 2024

New for the late spring and summer of 2024! I have been following a course that introduces weight and muscle tone and stengthening into my personal training. There is also S.I.T. which is a shorter version of H.I.T. The idea behind both is to provide a more successful way of adding different exercise into menpause training, use glucose more effectively and hopeful feel leaner and make it easier with a good diet loose weight. I do not deal with diet here, but do advise making sure you have protein in your diet, don't exercise on an empty stomach (it tends to work better for men) and make sure when you eat after exercise it includes protein to build up the muscle you have broken down. Always follow good practice with new exercise, listen to your body and stop or modify any exercise not suited to you or gradually add more sets or weight in a controlled manner.

Healthy Pelvis

By Carole Barrie on 19 May 2022

This week I started 6 month training Whole Body Pelvic Health with Claire Sparrow. Having issues myself of stress leaks since post menopause, it frequently feels more embarassing as a Pilates teacher. This week I listened to a talk about the affect of scar tissue from birth trauma or any injury or operation around Pelvic girdle including hip replacement and prostate issues. Light Bulb! How can you expect you Pelvic muscles to snap into action if they are restricted and tight an being pulled by scar tissue? How can training these muscles to be stronger be effective until they are lengthened and released? In my pilates classes we already cover a lot of movement that helps but I have starting giving my Pelvis a bit more love adding more regular stretching and breathing in some of those positions that are more uncomfortable for me. And bonus, you get to try out all the lovely things I learn. Some helpful info to get you started from Anna Crowle a specialist pelvic health physiotherapist. https://www.annacrowle.co.uk/the-science-bit/
