Functional Fitness Made Simple: Move with Ease Using Pilates

Many people think exercise must be hard to be effective. Pilates teaches us that smart, controlled movement is far more powerful than force and slow movement is a better trainer than quick movement.

When movement feels supported and smooth, your joints stay healthier, your nervous system stays calme, your body recovers faster and you move with more confidence.

Try this seated mobility break:

• Sit tall.

• Inhale, lift your arms.

• Exhale, rotate gently to one side.

• Inhale back to centre.

• Repeat 3 times each side.

Notice how little effort it takes to create space and ease.

Functional fitness isn’t about pushing. It’s about supporting your body to move well.
