Jump into fitness with Jump Board Pilates classes!

Our 30 minute Cardio Pilates Jump Board classes are the perfect way to incorporate cardio work into your Pilates routine—and the best way to start your day or end it after a stressful day at work or in traffic. This innovative full body workout consists of a continuous flow of Pilates exercises conducted on the reformer with the Jump board attachment. Fluid transitions, coupled with interval jumping, results in an increased heart rate that is optimal for burning calories and building lean muscle.

This creatively choreographed workout is easy, fun and effective—plus, the impact on your knees and hip joints is minimal due to the spring resistance used with reformer and the principles of Pilates. It’s an ideal way to tone your core while developing endurance that assists with the absorption of your landings and take-offs. In addition, the directional flow of your movement is on a horizontal plane, which also reduces impact to your joints.

The benefits of our Jump Board class are wide-ranging and amazing! You’ll feel the burn in both your arms and legs, develop power and speed, improve overall coordination and elevate your heart rate more than any other Pilates classes. It will expand your Pilates practice by challenging you in different positions: lying on your back and side, kneeling facing the front, back and side, and many more physique toning movements. Plus, it’s easy and so much fun—the 30 minutes is over before you know it.

30 Minutes of Continuous Flow of Pilates Exercises!

30 minute continuous flow of Pilates exercises conducted with the Jump board plate that is stood up on the end of the Reformer. This has very minimal impact on the knees and hip joints because there is a spring resistance used with reformer and via the principles of Pilates of Balance, Precision, Breath, Control, Flow and Coordination your Core Muscules are toned as well as built with endurance that assists in absorbing your landings and take-offs.  In addition the direction flow of your movement is not in a verticle (up and down) motion but on a horizontal plane which also reduces impact to your joints.  

This 30 minute Pilates routine because of its continuous flow adds a great cardio effect to your pilates fitness regime and is a full body work-out as this board is not just meant to be used with just your feet/legs but also arms and hands and you are jumping in various positions as well including but not limited to:  lying on your back, kneeling front facing, kneeling back facing, kneeling side facing, lying on your side and many more fun dynamic positions to challenge and tone your core and entire physique.

Raw Kale Chips Recipe


The Goods!
Kale, which is actually a form of cabbage, is loaded with fiber. One cup of kale provides you with twice your daily requirement of vitamin A, tons of vitamin C and has over a thousand times the RDA for vitamin K! Kale helps keep your body strong and also helps prevent damage from other forces that are constantly attacking our bodies.
Kale is full of fiber and phytonutrients. It produces sulforaphane which is a natural cancer-fighter that signals the liver to produce cancer fighting enzymes. Kale has high amounts of carotenoids that protect your eyes from ultraviolet light and other major issues. It even helps prevent cataracts.
