This week's new workout is a classic Mat Pilates class, focussing on slow, controlled and lengthening movements. I know you guys love to have a more intense strengthening or power pilates style class for your Monday workout, which is why I am breaking from tradition and adding this new class on a Wednesday in this month's calendar. But of course you can do it at any time if it feels right for you! For those syncing workouts with your menstrual cycle, this session is ideal during the early to mid-luteal phase. However, consider skipping it close to your period if you often experience painful back cramps. Let me know in the comments how you found this class! Also, let me know if you'd like me to include cycle phase recommendations for each new class moving forward.
