Pilates for Fencers

1h 9m
This lesson goes beyond the traditional strength and conditioning exercises and provide fencers a flowing class incorporating a series of exercises which she chose and developed to challenge fencers’ neuromuscular fitness. I teach movements that explore a big range of movement and challenge stability in order to strengthen and mobilise the hips in a way that is most functional to the sport. The aim of the class is to:
- Increase the hips’ range of movement
- Stretch in a safe, effective way
- Offset muscular imbalances
- Address knee issues arising from stiff or unstable hips
