Instability builds control and movement transitions require flow.

From mobility to muscular strength and endurance with segmental or kinetic chain integration through the whole body.

Pilates reformer and freeFORM Board @pilatesinsync 🙏 thanks all the inspiring posts and creative content.

Love the subtlety of this sequence combining the coordination of the upper and lower body, the shoulder core and hips flexor activation, the unilateral and bilateral leg movements, the instability of the board and the small rotation at the end transferring load and activation more into the obliques.

As a non Pilates instructor I can really appreciate the art and science and attention to detail in the Pilates method.

If you scroll through @pilatesinsync you’ll see freeFORM Board integrations with the Cadillac, the Wunda chair, reformer and other pilates equipment as well as a stand alone tool…the freeFORM Board is incredibly versatile on its own but in combination with other equipment, the possibilities are literally endless.

A man who likes a challenge. Tom saw a post I shared recently from @pilatesinsync and thought he’d give it a try.

What do you think? Looks like he nailed it to me.

From Menia in Sydney to Bristol in The UK, you’ll find freeFORM equipped studios and gyms with trained and qualified instructors who help you get from where you are today to where you’d like to end up with your health and fitness goals.

You can follow Tom @protom_fitness and see the range of services and training techniques he provides.

Joel is doing a very difficult exercise with a contra lateral tuck single arm rollout.

The whole body is loaded to some degree but there is a diagonal load running through the torso. Although it’s not identical to the stretch / loading up of a tennis player about to serve, there are some important similarities.

The movements then transition to the frontal plane which loads the myofascial web through different angles and activates the anterior delt and pecs in the upper body and adductors in the lower body. The load through the core and the stable limbs also shifts with the movement transition.

I’ve had coaches of overhead athletes like basketball players and soccer goal keepers explain how these athletes need shoulder girdle control at end of range and though all angles.

Also a great exercise for freestyle / front crawl swimmers.

@pilatesinsync in Menai south of Sydney attracts many elite athletes and with Pilates they can develop mobility, stability and motor control and conditioning variables that their regular power and endurance training can neglect. Follow them to see a lot more.

A front split into a scooter…another creative exercise application by @pilatesinsync

In order to perform a an exercise like this, you need a client at the right left of fitness, movements control and flexibility also with a certain level of upper body strength.

The Reformer carriage is in a track and controlled to some extent by springs. The freeFORM Board is low friction, unlimited in direction and range of motion so it’s the upper body support holding the bar that makes this exercise safe and effective for this client.

Love this from Pilates Insync because it demonstrates the highly responsive unstable rotation application of the freeFORM Board BUT also, the transition from sagital hip extension to frontal plane hip abduction.

You can actually see how the board supported leg foot, ankle, knee and hip stabilizers are recruited.

Think of how important those stabilizers are for anyone who plays a multi direction reaction sport?

In the fitness world, they can be so focused on building strength in the prime movers, they can neglect how important it is to have responsive joint stabilizers functioning optimally.

I’ve said it 1000 times so one more won’t hurt…thanks @pilatesinsync for all of this rich content that I can share with all movement practitioners all over the world.

Double instability combing a freeFORM Board with a foam roller to further activate upper body and core stabilizers and the overall proprioceptive system. Note the continuum from four point kneeling to hover to plank…(static / isometric) to jack rabbit / tuck (dynamic stabilization)

So the combination of roller and board increases neuromuscular activation and it’s just the sort of exercise that would have helped me when I was working toward free standing handstands and yoga balancing postures which are very demanding on the core and upper body.

Creative inspiration brought to you by @pilatesinsync 🙏 who you should definitely follow if you’re looking for more ways to make the most of your freeFORM Board.

Front split, side split, front split transition via alternate hip circumduction. Whether you’re a young athlete, an elite athlete, a middle aged person or someone overcoming an injury, there will be a range of freeFORM Board exercises that can help you get where you want to go. You can do this on the freeFORM Board due to the combination of the support + freedom the board offers. You can practice on a timber floor, rubber, carpet or smooth concrete. @pilatesinsync in Menai south of Sydney is one studio among many where you can find an expert instructor that can guide you through the process from being a novice and take you as far as you’d like to go. #freeformboard #pilatesinsync #splits #frontsplits #sidesplits #cheerleading #gymnastics #pilates #pilatesinstructor #pilatesstudio https://www.instagram.com/p/CBiJUbFglHJ/?igshid=b5146tfzhtx6

This is what they get up to in Menai at 7 am on a Saturday morning. Is it a triceps exercise? A chest exercise? A shoulder exercise? A core exercise? A glute exercise? Is it a strength? Stability? Balance exercise? This is what I mean by synergistic exercise. It’s not simple or even compound...it’s complex. Integration of multiple body segments and multiple systems. This is one way to achieve more benefits in less time. #freeformboard #pilates #pilatesinstructor #pilatesclass #fitness #fitnessclass #triceps #coreworkout #glutes #pilatesinsync #corestability https://www.instagram.com/p/CBtqui0AYzj/?igshid=118ly4afs5va2

Helen is the owner and founder of @pilatesinsync in Menai, Sydney. Here’s Helen demonstrating the freeFORM Board integrated with the Pilates Cadillac. When the freeFORM Board is docked and unlocked, it provides the highest quality, lowest friction rotation available as it houses a precision stainless steel ball bearing and it will provide many years of reliable performance. You can use the freeFORM Board as a stand alone device or integrate movements with Reformers, Wunda Chairs, Cadillacs and also with small apparatus. @pilatesinsync run dedicated freeFORM Board classes which you can see on their website / timetable. #freeformboard #pilates #pilatesinstructor #pilatescadillac #rotation #pilatesinsync #pilates reformer https://www.instagram.com/p/B_V7OPXAXrU/?igshid=58t3oe3w2t5m

I’m not sure how she does it but @pilatesinsync seems to have a magic touch. Buys the boards, completes the training, runs the freeFORM classes, integrates boards with reformers, Wunda Chairs, Power Plates and various other Pilates and fitness tools. General classes, cheerleaders, NRL players and more. Here’s Helen showing the Sydney King’s who’s the boss....even though she’s as tall standing as they are kneeling 🤣 Dynamic, kneeling reverse lunge that challenges both hip flexor mobility and motor control / stability. Thanks Helen for all the inspiring videos. #freeformboard #pilatesinsync #sydneykings #lunges #lunge #hipflexorstretch #psoasstretch #psoasrelease #pilates #stretching #yoga https://www.instagram.com/p/B-oOfAOggFW/?igshid=1183cc77xixih

@pilatesinsync integrating freeFORM Boards with their Wunda Chairs in unilateral hip movements and contralateral hip / shoulder movements. Note that in the position, the arm has to move in a more or less linear fashion while hip, supported by the freeFORM Board is free to move in any direction the client or instructor chooses. That’s the added dimension freeFORM provides to your Pilates repertoire. #freeformboard #pilatesinsync #pilates #wundachair #pilateschair #plank #core #coreworkout https://www.instagram.com/p/B9aucrnguGO/?igshid=jqg5x856jv0a

Mania peeps, what does @pilatesinsync have installed for you at 7 am tomorrow morning? My guess is will be something fun and creative with a bit more than a pinch of tough ❤️ Here’s a few selections from last weeks class.

Kids getting restless without that outdoor time and exercise? Mine used to chase each other around the kitchen and living room and play all kinds of different games. These kids look like young athletes just taking a break from the really hard work but the movements are still really useful and beneficial. If you do let your kids play and exercise on your boards, do supervise them closely as they do like to push the boundaries. Thanks @pilatesinsync for this video. #freeformboard #gymnastics #cheerleading #kidsfitness #pilates https://www.instagram.com/p/B-wMrfhgrw1/?igshid=8mzaiddu0qps
