WHAT TO EAT BEFORE AND AFTER
Try to have a light meal or snack at least an hour before you head to the studio. You don't want to be distracted by your stomach grumbling but equally, tackling our Pilates class near Southampton on a full stomach could make you feel quite queasy!
Post-stretching, be sure to keep hydrated with plenty of water and ensure you fit some good sources of protein into your refuel meal.
What Should I Wear?
Pilates is all about fluid movements, so you'll want to wear something that allows you to move, stretch and contort your body into numerous positions!
Go for tight fitting clothes made from stretchy and breathable fabric. On the feet, wear socks with small grips which will allow you to smoothly glide, without falling or opt for bare feet.
