A new class started a few months ago at the hot yoga studio I teach at called Inferno Hot Pilates. To be honest, I was never really a fan of Pilates, but my friend Džesika Bērna bija instruktors, un viņa man apliecināja, ka es to vēlētos, pamatojoties uz manu mīlestību pret CrossFit un HIIT stila treniņiem.
Kas ir Inferno Hot Pilates?
Inferno Hot Pilates (IHP) izveidoja Gabriella (Gabi) Walters, sertificēta jogas un Pilates instruktore. Džess paskaidroja, ka tā ir treniņu sistēma, kas apvieno Pilates principus ar HIIT un tiek veikta apsildāmā telpā ar 95 grādiem un 40 procentu mitrumu. Tas ir visa ķermeņa treniņš, kas paredzēts, lai stiprinātu muskuļus, palielinātu elastību un uzlabotu vispārējo veselību. Viņa piebilda, ka tā ir augstas intensitātes, bet zemas ietekmes, kas palīdz aizsargāt locītavas un muskuļus.
Kāda ir atšķirība starp pilates un IHP?
Pilates principi veido jūsu ķermeni, veidojot garu liesu muskuļu masu. Inferno Hot Pilates atšķiras ar to, ka karstums uztur jūsu sirdsdarbības ātrumu, un, tā kā tas ir HIIT stila treniņš, Džess sacīja, tas var palīdzēt uzlabot jūsu vielmaiņu. IHP palielina kodola izturību, elastību un cirkulāciju.
Kā izskatās Inferno Hot Pilates nodarbība?
IHP nodarbībās tiek ievērota struktūra vai secība, kurā jūs sākat ar tiltu darbu, pēc tam pārejiet pie pamata, sānu ķermeņa (plankings, atvāžamais, kāju pacelšana utt.), muguras pagarināšana un pēc tam kājas/kardio/ķermeņa augšdaļa (burpees, kalnos kāpēji, atspiešanās utt.). Jūs dažreiz izmantojat siksnas, un dažās studijās ir svari, taču tie galvenokārt ir ķermeņa svara vingrinājumi.
There's such a variety of moves that of the three 45-minute classes I took, they were all very different. Since the structure of the workout is the same every class, you know what to expect, but not specifically what exercises you'll do in the workout.
Vienmēr tiek izmantots Tabata taimeris, kurā jūs veicat vingrinājumus 20 sekundes ar 10 sekunžu atpūtu vai 30 sekundes darbu ar piecu sekunžu atpūtu. Instruktors informē, kad sākt, kad apstāties un kad pāriet uz jaunu vingrinājumu. Man patika, ka tas bija tik ātrs (lai gan iepriekš redzamais video ir paātrināts!), un es biju pilnībā izmirkusi sviedros — priecājos, ka paņēmu līdzi milzīgu ūdens pudeli, dvieli sejai un rokām un maiņas drēbes!
I'll add that I've been doing CrossFit three to five days a week for over three years. I consider myself pretty strong and fit, but this class kicked my butt. It was such a different workout than I'm used to, challenging my body and mind in a new way, and I want to try to make it to at least one class a week.
Kā ar Pilates elpu?
One thing I noticed right away in class is that everyone was exhaling very loudly, making a hissing sound. Jess said the Pilates breath is an 'exhale out of the mouth between the teeth engaging the pelvic floor and strengthening the core muscles.' To be honest, I'm used to a quieter yoga breath, so I felt a little weird doing it during my first two classes, but started to do it a little during my third.

New students should let the instructor know, Jess said. For her IHP newbies, she always gives a quick one-on-one intro so they know what to expect. But don't worry! The class is easy to follow because the instructor calls everything out. She added, 'the class is also designed to remind the students over and over again to use the breath, focus on alignment, do the best they can, and that it is quality over quantity.' Focus on doing the exercises correctly and you can pick up the pace as you're ready.

Two to three times a week is ideal for building strength and increasing flexibility, Jess said, but more if there is a goal of greater fat loss. Both new and seasoned students can expect to feel empowered and proud of what they are capable of doing in the class. Jess said, 'we work hard on the mat in IHP so that we can take on life outside of the studio.'

The IHP community is about empowerment and community, Jess said. In every one of the three classes I took, toward the end of class when we were all exhausted but pushing through those last few sets of reps, Jess encouraged us to high-five our neighbor, and it really amped up my energy levels, made me feel like we were all in this together, and inspired me to go harder. 'Last set, best set,' Jess would say, and I was so pumped to do my best.
Jess said she's seen the growth in her regular students, physically and mentally. She sees people talking to one another before and after class, looking forward to seeing each other each week.
Viņa piebilda: Es esmu mērķtiecīgi novirzījusies no IHP fokusa uz fizisko izskatu un vairāk par lepnumu par to, ko mūsu ķermenis spēj darīt, ko mēs darām un izvēlamies darīt ar savu ķermeni. Tā ir dāvana. Un jebkura struktūra to var izdarīt, jo tiek piedāvātas modifikācijas.
I love how the class ends with a quick Savasana enjoying a much-appreciated cold towel on our faces, and then we give ourselves a round of applause. The class is incredibly physically challenging, and the applause feels almost like crossing a finish line, cheering each other on for our hard work and the commitment we've made to take the time to better ourselves.
