Stamina and endurance, the key to feeling fit, can be achieved right now in the comfort of your home. With just a mat and less than 30 minutes of your time, you can start building the stamina and endurance you may need for a demanding summer.
Follow these steps to build your endurance and stamina quickly:
Step 1: Keep minimum rest in between each exercise.
Step 2: Focus on breathing in through your nose as if you’re smelling your favourite perfume or fragrance
Step 3: Exhale by using all of your abs muscles
Step 4: Keep your body in a ball shape when transitioning from one exercise to another.
Equipment: Chair – Intermediate/ Advance Horse Back
Pilates Exercise: Horse Back
Tips and techniques: When the spine curl the abs turn on, so maintaining the spine curl is key element for this exercise. And to help the spine stay curled, keep the eyes in one spot. It will help you stay focus as well.
The beautiful thing about summer is that it makes everything feel more lively and happy, so let that be your motivation. I sometimes move on my balcony because my joints love heat and humidity (not my hair). If you can’t get on your balcony to work out and prefer a/c, then do that. Set up your space according to your mood.
Here’s how to stay on track throughout the next four weeks for your Stamina and Endurance builder:
- Check your Calendar and block 30 minutes for your Mat Stamina
- Set your reminder
- Stick to it
- Check it on your list as done
And voilà.
Fit summer, here we come!
