Dave Hibbins
REASON FOR ATTENDING:
Sport
BENEFITS:
- Increased my flexibility
- Helps maintain good core
- Better posture
Dave is a runner and attends my Men’s Pilates Group exercise session. Dave started attending my Pilates group classes a few years ago because he had heard that it was great for maintaining/improving muscle health and counterbalancing the tightness he was experiencing from his long distance cycling and semi pro basketball training. He had upper back restriction which was exacerbated by many hours of cycling in sub optimum positions without accompanying core postural strength to take the strain off the shoulders and upper back. He also had hip and thigh restriction from using his thighs so much in squatting type movements.
I have worked with him to strengthen his core and improve his cycling techniques especially when cycling uphill along with how to stretch effectively those muscles groups before and after his sports and he has really improved his performance and lessened his recovery time. Well done Dave, as you say, ‘Just bounce it.’
“I’ve been attending Cordelia’s classes for about two and a half years – in person and online. Although I’ve always done a lot of sport – basketball and cycling in particular – this is the first Pilates class I’ve done. I’ve found it’s really helped increase my flexibility and maintain good core and better posture. The class is also good fun! Cordelia is really knowledgeable, explains things really well, and always has lots of good advice whenever, and wherever, you have aches and pains!”
