A Heartfelt Partner Pilates Program for Partners
A heartfelt Pilates program for partners helps to keep each couple focused on fitness goals and accountable to each other. Pilates is a great form of exercise to do together. It is adaptable to different levels of fitness and many of the exercises are great for couples.
Schedule your date
When working with a partner, the first thing to do is decide on a schedule for your workouts. For busy hectic schedules, this quality time with each other benefits the mind, heart, and body. Prioritizing your workout can be in the morning before work, a quick lunch time workout, or a dinnertime date at a nearby fitness center. Next, plan your fitness goals and select the exercises that work great for two people. Pilates is great for couples because the intensity and focus is mind, body, and spirit. As the core is strengthened, so is the breathing deeper. Deeper breathing is calming and increases the sharing of being in the moment together.
Double up on equipment
If you are working out at home, you need to double up on essentials like mats, blocks, and bands. It is more fun to work on the same equipment at the same time.
Never Compete
Competition leads to resentment and arrogance. The goal is to encourage the best from each partner. It is okay to prompt corrections so that performance is improved. It is not okay to pick over each other’s execution of the exercises. The goals is always to be the best you can be and to improve communication and fitness.
Set Independent Goals
Each partner will have different strength, fitness levels and endurance. Set independent goals for each partner. The overall goal is to show up and support each other.
Think of your Pilates workout as a date
The best dates are when a couple is fully engaged with each other. Having a Pilates date five or three times a week will pull you together and strengthen your relationship not just your core. Consider a Valentine’s Day kick off with some classes at Chaise fitness. With the right mindset, Pilates can be a romantic experience that strengthens the relationship.
