The latest news and offers from Pilates Plus Physio
It's time to explore the great outdoors!
The Pilates Plus team are getting out in a big way this weekend as we finally take on the Kindrochit Quadrathlon. Read our blog to find out how Pilates and Physio can benefit swimmers, both in the pool and in open water. We've got offers running for Physio and Pilates to get you into top condition for getting out and about!

Quadrathlon
There's no denying it, the Quadrathlon is upon us! It's all happening this weekend, on 11th July. After months of training and fundraising, the girls are ready to take on 0.8 miles open water swimming, running 15 miles over 7 munros, kayaking 7 miles and cycling 34 miles.
If you would like to give the girls an extra boost by donating to the two excellent chrities, Mary's Meals and Mercy Corps, this can be done here.
Training for the Quad

Here are some great photos of the girls in training, good luck at the weekend!



Mairi is supported on training runs by trusty Scamp!

Challenge of the Month - Swimming Level 4
It wouldn't be a swimming-themed month without a swimming exercise! Start on hands and knees, abdominals engaged and wide across the front of the collarbones. Without shifting your weight sideways, simultaneously lift one arm in front and the opposite leg behind you. Only lift the leg as high as you can without arching the low back. Repeat 8-10 each side. Challenge yourself to repeat this every day for a month and feel how you improve. If this feels too challenging to start with, please lift only the leg or arm initially.
Thank you!
Thanks to those of you who took the time to complete our online survey last month. The winner of the 50% off voucher is Carolyn Chiswick, congratulations!
