Pilates has been around for a long time, and it's still one of the most popular forms of exercise today. It's also one that can be done at home, which is great news if you want to keep fit but don't have access to a gym or health club.

If you're interested in learning more about how Pilates works or want some tips on how best to get started with this type of workout, then read on.

- The Lottie Movement

Lottie Murphy is a Pilates instructor and founder of LottieMurphy.com, a website that offers free Pilates videos and workouts. She is also certified in personal training by the American College of Sports Medicine and has taught yoga to children with special needs.

Lottie Movement is a combination of Pilates and yoga, which creates a mind-body experience. It’s an opportunity to learn how to live in alignment with your body, so you can feel more energized, balanced and healthy.

The Lottie Movement program is designed by professional fitness instructor Evelyne Cossette who has been teaching this style since 2012. Her classes are focused on strengthening core muscles while also engaging other parts of your body like arms, shoulders, chest and back through warm-up exercises followed by more challenging poses that require breath control as well as concentration on flexibility and balance.

- Focus On The Breath

The most important part of a Pilates class is the breath. Breathing is the key to moving your body in an efficient way, so when you're working out at a Pilate's studio or gym, it's important to focus on your breathing.

Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth.

Breathing in this way will help you feel more relaxed while strengthening muscles that support breathing. Breathe in through your stomach and out through your chest, This helps improve flexibility because it stretches out tight muscles. Inhale for three counts (counts should be faster than normal); then exhale for six counts (counts should be slower than normal).

- Learn From Your Mistakes

One of the most important things to remember is that Pilates is a process, not an end result. You will make mistakes and it’s okay. You are not perfect and neither are your clients or yourself. So don’t expect to be perfect at all times when practicing Pilates, learn from your mistakes and move on.

The most important thing is to remember that you are doing the best you can, even if it isn’t perfect. This will help keep your clients from feeling frustrated or disappointed with their progress and motivate them to continue.

- Use Your Time Effectively

• Be sure to have a dedicated workout space.

• Use a timer, or set one up on your phone if you don't have one.

• Choose exercises that challenge you but aren't too difficult for the first time you try them. For example: if you're new to Pilates, start with leg lifts and side bends instead of more advanced moves like squats or lunges because they'll help get your body ready for more challenging exercises later on in the class (and maybe even help decrease any potential pain from those).

Make sure you have a mat and towel. Pilates can be very intense, especially if you're new to it, so make sure you're comfortable. Also be sure to wear loose-fitting clothing that doesn't restrict your movement.

- Pick A Focus Point

When you are working on your body, it is important to focus on the breath and movement. This will help you become more aware of how your body feels in space. Focus also helps with concentration and focus so that you can pay attention to what is going on in front of you during an exercise session or workout class.

You can use this same principle when working on self-awareness: focusing on what’s happening inside yourself by being present with whatever emotion might be present at that moment (e.g., sadness).

- Pilates Practice Tips

• Make your practice a ritual.

• Practice your Pilates routine at the same time each day.

• Create a ritual around the mat.

• Set aside time to practice, and practice in the same place each day (or at least on occasion).

You can also create a ritual around your mat: for example, choose something specific about where you're working out/practicing like "I'm going to make sure this spot stays clean" or "I'm going to turn off my phone."

- Time Spent Mostly on Mat

• Make the most of your time on the mat.

• Focus on the breath to relax and de-stress.

• Learn from your mistakes and move forward with confidence, knowing that you can do this.

• Use this time wisely by picking a focus point for yourself (think about what you want to accomplish in your practice). This can be anything from more flexibility or strength in one area of body movement to feeling more comfortable while performing a difficult posture or holding something long enough before moving onto another step in your practice sequence.

Lottie Murphy's summer challenge

Conclusion

It's never too late to start a fitness routine, but it's also important to know that if you're not used to working out and your body is sore after doing Pilates for the first time, don't be discouraged.

The key is consistency over time. You might feel uncomfortable at first, but once you figure out how your body moves through each pose and how much strength it needs from your core muscles (and not just your arms or legs), there will be less pain in these early days than expected. Once again, consistency will help with this process - just stick with it.
