Strengthen Your Supports!

Through years of dancing and using my body, I’ve had my share of foot injuries. After suffering a dropped metatarsal, I saw Dr. Novella in New York City. He helped me avoid surgery with preventative foot strengthening exercise.  I now incorporate these as well as others from Irene Dowd and Deborah Lessen into my daily life and Pilates classes at Mind Your Body NYC. Here are a few for your review. I hope you find these Pilates foot exercises helpful!

What is your favorite Pilates footwork/ foot strengthening exercise?

“There is such a positive energy in the Pilates classes having all pregnant women!”, says Gail.  “We used to make a few adjustments for pregnant woman in certain classes but when I realized the women like being around each other, I decided to add specific prenatal classes.  It has been a very positive and exciting experience.  Our class is taught by new mom and Senior MYB instructor, Allegra Lopez – the class is a real workout, though the sweet young moms smile their way through the challenge.”

Mind Your Body Pilates UES adds five new Pilates Tower Classes to its selection of over forty weekly small group Pilates classes

Mind Your Body Fitness NYC is adding five new Pilates Tower Classes, offering a range of movements not possible on the more well-known Pilates Reformer and granting ways to safely and effectively give ankle joint mobility, strengthen knee joints and develop hip joint stability. These small group Pilates classes also offer clients the value of a group class price while promising some individual attention, the safety of having a teacher with five or fewer clients to attend to correct form and alignment, and the fun and camaraderie that comes in not getting lost in the crowd like in many other more-typical New York City exercise environments.
