Re: Pies, articulacion y estabilidad
Fuerza. Cuando un pie está rígido, suele ser también débil -lo que no se mueve no se ejercita...y lo que no se ejercita... Básicamente, lo que lo mantiene unido es la rigidez. Al principio es muy difícil aflojar el pie a causa de ella: se necesitarían músculos muy fuertes para poder doblar un pie ta...

Re: Pies, articulacion y estabilidad
Los ejercicios en posición sentada se hacen mejor a la altura del Reformer, especialmente los de la barra. Las rodillas están a unos 90 grados. Si los haces en la Mesa usa una caja. La numeración que sigue no es el orden. Puedes hacerlos en cualquier orden. Suelo enseñar los números 1, 2 y 3 y luego...

Pies, articulacion y estabilidad
La encantadora Natalia Villa Comet me hizo una pregunta sobre la estabilidad y el arrastre de los pies en la persona que envejece. Como es una pregunta tan interesante, y un problema que comienza mucho antes de lo que creemos y es increíblemente común, decidí publicar la respuesta, fotos y videos de...

Re: Feet and Articulation.
Pole Sitting. Take a pole. Preferably a thicker one. Foot rollers work but only do both feet together if it is wide enough. Part 1: - Curl your foot over the pole, toes pointing down, and roll the pole along the sole of your foot. Try to really go from toes to heel. - Then to intensify the feeling, ...

Re: Feet and Articulation.
Strength. When a foot is stiff, is usually also weak -what doesn't move doesn't exercise…- and what keeping it together is the stiffness. At the beginning is very hard to loosen the foot because of it: you would need very strong muscles to be able to bend such a stiff foot. Also, like always when de...

Re: Feet and Articulation.
The sitting exercises are done best at the height of the Reformer, especially the ones with the pole. The knees are flexed at about 90 degrees. If you do them on the Table use a box. The numbering is not the order. You can do them in any order. I usually teach number 1, 2 and 3, and then ask them to...

Feet, stability and articulation.
I was asked a question by the lovely Natalia Villa Comet about stability and foot dragging in the aging person. Since it is such an interesting question, and a problem that starts way earlier and is incredibly common, I decided to post the answer, pics and videos of some exercises in the forum. This...

Re: weights/springs, pull/push, rocking/rolling
Hello Alain, It is one of my 'fights'... showing others that practice is more important than anything else. "Doing" makes Pilates -or anythings else- universal. Execution is the basis for experience: both, experiencing whatever it is you are trying and gaining experience with it. Funny how...

Hello Alain, "Doing" makes Pilates -or anythings else- universal. Execution is the basis for experience: both, experiencing whatever it is you are trying and gaining experience with it. Funny how the same word can have such a distant meaning: encountering something and gaining control over...

Re: weights/springs, pull/push, rocking/rolling
Hello Alain, Everything we deal with has always layers and more information behind that lives in a non-graphical, non-visual world. We are very 'image' driven so a lot of our 'instant' decisions and opinions are formed by the 'fastest' sense: vision. And for some reason we need to get to an answer f...
