Effort or Stretching?
When to Exercise and when to Relax
August 19, 2008
There is always an optimal blend of aerobic exercise intensity versus time for rest, relaxation, stretching and recovery. If you do too much of the effort part of the session, you are missing an important part; and if you do to much of the stretching, flexibility, concentration, then you are missing another important part which is the strength, and the cardio work. Both are necessary if the workout is to be complete. This blend is important to take into account when you consider how you wish to lead a session or a class. The TAMARA DI TELLA® Pilates and Tangolates® (Tango Pilates) method blends both the cardio and the aerobic into one whole or complete system of physical activity. This is why it is said that our method one-ups traditional Pilates routines.
The Tamara Di Tella Method (Part 3)
August 15, 2008
The Traditional Pilates exercise was a regimen that relied on a rather anaerobic standardized core controlled concentrated movement rather than on a quick fix. At the time it was developed that was very innovative, almost revolutionary. Then, as time passed, people began to notice that the cardio element was weak. Time passed and new trends began to emerge. We at the Tamara Di Tella School of Training teach our teachers to instruct their students of individual or groups classes that the traditional Pilates is very good and that it would greatly improve if a slight and controlled cardio element were added to it.
The Tamara Di Tella Tangolates – Tango Pilates Method: People who are enthused by Pilates exercise swear by this new and innovative method that adds the music and the cardio element to classes that are more dynamic and aerobic. Tamara Di Tella is a fully-equipped Panama Studio offering individual and group lessons in both the Pilates method and Tangolates (Tango Pilates). Programs include private sessions in Pilates, Tango Pilates in regular group classes ranging from Pilates and Tango Pilates fundamentals for the beginner to advanced workouts on both the Reformer and the T-DITELLA Apparatus.
