STOTT PILATES® Matwork Interval Training, Level 2
Mix up your workouts and maximize power, endurance and metabolic potential with this simple but effective Matwork exercises, developed by the STOTT PILATES® Academy team. Studies show that in order to continue seeing results, long-time clients need to challenge muscle memory and mix up training methodology. Sticking to the same workout routine may cause them to plateau. Combinations of movements integrate different planes and motor patterns in more intense intervals, and provide more challenge once a level of stability and strength has been established. Incorporate the theories of interval training and even those who doubt the benefits of Pilates will ‘feel the workout’.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
✔ Apply STOTT PILATES Principles to select Matwork exercises
✔ Understand how endurance and strength can be increased through Matwork
✔ Learn simple movement sequences that build in intensity
✔ Create variety and challenge while focusing on alignment and movement quality

STOTT PILATES® Beyond the Biomechanical Principles
The STOTT PILATES Principles form the foundation of the STOTT PILATES Movement System and provide the initial framework for programming. These concepts, when applied appropriately and strategically, will facilitate awareness and ensure optimal alignment as well as appropriate engagement of required muscles in clients. For the instructor, these Principles act as a reference tool that can be continually utilized when systematically evaluating and correcting static and dynamic alignment through any and all movement sequences. In each case, we'll examine what the Principle is, why it is important within a programming context, and how we can use movement to reinforce and integrate it into the system as a whole. This workshop, created by the STOTT PILATES® Academy team, presents the Principles and shows how they are related to movement patterns crucial to optimal function and discusses their application to any type of activity as a platform for instructors at any level.
Learning objectives:
✔ Discover how the STOTT PILATES Principles form the foundation for any type of movement programming.
✔ Experience movements that illustrate the what, why and how of each Principle.
✔ Learn how the individual Principles support and facilitate movement patterns crucial for functional activity for all clients.
✔ Explore how the Principles have been evolved based on current scientific research in movement and exercise physiology.
