Why Spring Is a Great Time to Revisit Your Pilates Routine

Spring is almost here, which means longer days, warmer weather and perhaps a bit more motivation to get moving. If your reformer pilates routine has taken a back seat over winter, this is a great time to ease back into it and reconnect with movement.

Whether you’re looking to build strength, improve mobility, support your running or simply feel more comfortable in your body, pilates can be a great foundation for getting back into a regular routine. You don’t need to make drastic changes to your schedule to make a difference - sometimes simply finding your rhythm again is enough. Here we discuss five reasons why spring is a great time to revisit your pilates practice!

1 - A natural reset point

Spring can feel like a fresh start. After the slower, colder months of winter, it’s a good opportunity to check in with your movement routine and think about what’s working, what’s fallen away and what you’d like to prioritise.

2 - Pilates can complement your other activities

As the weather warms up, you might find yourself walking more, getting back into running, playing sport or spending more time outdoors in general. Pilates can help build the strength, mobility and control to support your body as your activity levels increase.

3 - Revisit your movement foundations

Spring is a great time to check in with how you’re moving. Pilates focuses on things like strength, stability, mobility and control, giving you an opportunity to work on the fundamentals that support how you move both in and outside the studio.

4 - Find a routine that works for you

Getting back into pilates doesn’t have to mean doing more. Think about what’s realistic for your schedule and what you enjoy. Whether that’s one class a week or a regular membership, consistency is more important than trying to do everything at once. At BN we offer a range of reformer membership options to suit different schedules, from 2 or 3 classes per week through to unlimited classes. In addition, we also offer class packs if you need more flexibility, as well as single classes.

5 - Set yourself up for the warmer months

If you have activities or goals you’d like to enjoy over spring and summer, now is a good time to start building towards them. A regular pilates practice can help you develop the strength and confidence to feel prepared for whatever the warmer months bring.

Key takeaway

Spring doesn’t have to mean a complete overhaul of your routine. It can simply be an opportunity to reconnect with movement, build consistency and feel good in your body as we head into the warmer months.
