Last night I did my first session of KX Pilates and oh my goodness it was amazing! I was so nervous but the instructor, her name was Rochelle, was so nice and talked me through everything! So KX Pilates is Pilates using a reformer which makes all the regular Pilates moves more advanced as well as new moves that you wouldn't be able to do any other way! It was a fully body workout, where mainly arms, shoulders, legs and core were used!
So what is KX Pilates?
It's a high-intensity full body workout that improves balance, coordination and flexibility that gives you a lean and toned look! It works by recruiting a large number of muscle fibres in the shortest amount of time and reducing time between sets. It is based on the isolate-fatigue-stretcch principle that targets the whole body through continuous, precise, controlled movements. So basically you complete an exercise (such as lunges on the reformer), fatigue the muscle by using super-sets, and then stretch the muscle that was targeted. And boy does it burn!!
It was such a new experience using the reformer but I've already booked 3 more sessions it was so good!
I highly recommend Pilates (ecspecially on the reformer) if you are looking to tone muscles, build your core and balance, and overall just feel good after an intense workout!
