Each workout consists of Pilates, yoga, or tone and has a slightly different focus, with some incorporating whole-body movements that flow to elevate the heart rate and provide general fitness conditioning. Others will target specific body parts to increase strength and endurance of upper, lower and core muscles, and some aim to restore equilibrium within the body and mind for health and wellbeing.
The FS8 Pilates exercises have been created with a combination of traditional Pilates moves blended with some fun, innovative and high intensity exercises that everyone will be able to benefit from.
Initially created as a rehabilitation tool, Pilates is a low impact form of exercise that trains the body as an integrated whole, focusing on core, lower body, and upper body strength as well as flexibility and posture.
Pilates can help gain awareness of your movement and breathing which can assist with better coordination and balance, increased lung capacity, stress management, athletic performance and injury prevention.
A style of exercise created for FS8 that includes exercises with light resistance using activation bands, dumbbells and body weight, static stretching, dynamic movement, and myofascial release to functional fitness.
It incorporates a combination of functional training exercises focusing on muscle activation, definition, and alignment in the body that complement the other modalities to create a full body workout.
The focus of the Tone modality is to enhance muscle function through increased strength and endurance, improved coordination and balance, and better posture and alignment. Including Tone exercises in the FS8 programs ensures a balanced workout is achieved in every session.
The FS8 yoga exercises have been created through the modification of traditional poses and blended with exercise physiology to provide safe and accessible exercises for the everyday athlete that align with the FS8 wellness philosophy.
Yoga is considered to promote physical and mental health by stretching and strengthening the body, releasing unnecessary tension, improving circulation and function of the body’s systems, and training the mind.
