Level 1 exam is out the way so now to start working on Level 2... the challenge of flexion and extension in these “Knee Stretches - Attitude“ is something that I need to work on but it definitely gets the body working! ☺️ #STOTTPilates #PracticeTime

Don’t think my brain can absorb any more information! Now to hope the nerves don’t kick in too badly and that tomorrow goes ok... STOTT Pilates Full Certification here I come! 😳 #STOTTPilates #ExamTime

Lovely walk through Chiswick House and Grounds going through the 5 Basic Principles... love the strange looks I get off people whilst I’m talking out loud and gesticulating 😂 #STOTTPilates #ExamPrep

I think STOTT change the smallest things to try and catch you out...

Scissors Hands on Ladder on Ladder Barrel: Inhale Prepare, Exhale for 5 Counts, Inhale for 5 Counts #STOTT #Pilates

Hope you’ve all had a wonderful Easter weekend! If have indulged then don’t beat yourself up, it’s only one weekend! 🐣 #happyEaster2019

One year since I did my first parkrun!Such a brillant organisation and would recommend it to anyone regardless of your level of fitness. It definitely allows me to satisfy my competitive nature and I will get a sub 29 before moving to Edinburgh! ☺️ #parkrunuk #anniversary

Playing around with different combos on the TRX... need to work on my alignment of shoulders being directly over the hands and my wonderful winging shoulder blades but love the challenge and feels so fun! ☺️ #TRX #lovemyjob

Working on a spreadsheet to correlate all the exercises across the different Pilates equipment. Fingers crossed this works! 😳🤞🤓 #STOTTPilates #StudyingHard

[Whorton Training @WhortonTraining]

The Swan Dive and Grasshopper can be done on the Arc Barrel, Spine Corrector, Ladder Barrel, Chair and Reformer each piece of equipment challenges in slightly different way. Aim to maintain the same curvature of the spine throughout the movement. #STOTTPilates

Another great parkrun, albeit a little colder than I was expecting! Always wanted to check out the hills next to the A40 not realising they have a parkrun there, now I have! Another thing ticked off the list ☺️ #parkrun #northalafields

Day trip to Edinburgh for a recce. Looking forward to checking things out and putting some plans in motion. Very exciting! ☺️ #Edinburgh #recce

[Whorton Training @WhortonTraining]

Working on the “Spread Eagle”. Feels so good to mobilise the entire spine by working the abdominals. Need to smooth the transitions between each position but definitely won’t mind working on this! ☺️ #STOTTPilates #SpreadEagle

Client and parkrun (sub 30 time☺️) this morning then 4 hours of Pilates practice this afternoon... finally get to sit down, kick off the shoes and enjoy a glass of wine! Cheers everyone! 🍷☺️ #STOTTPilates #TimeforWine

[Whorton Training @WhortonTraining]

Time to be absorbing all those muscles again in preparation for my full cert exam! 😳 #STOTTPilates #ExamPrep

[Whorton Training @WhortonTraining]

Practicing the Swan Dive Prep, Swan Dive & Grasshopper on the Chair. Love how much spinal extension I can achieve on the Chair with the support it provides. For someone who hates extension this makes it bearable 😂 #STOTTPilates #SwanDive

[Whorton Training @WhortonTraining]

No one was around to do parkrun with me this morning so I thought I’d start ticking off a few local ones before moving to Edinburgh with a bit of tourism to Richmond park. Tough one lap made so much better with beautiful scenery and deers! ☺️🦌 #parkrun #richmondpark

[Whorton Training @WhortonTraining]

I love the Ladder Barrel for being able to give additional feedback throughout the body so that when transferring exercices such as the “Side Bend” onto the reformer for the “Lean” you know which muscles should be working. #pilates #stott

[Whorton Training @WhortonTraining]

Need to work on more depth in the press but love this “Inverted Shoulder Press” on the TRX. Great for all round strength, stability and flexibility! ☺️ #TRX #LoveMyJob

Last parkrun on Sat in the 35-39 age category! At least now I have a chance of getting better age % 😉#Gunnersburyparkrun #parkrun
