Do you think that bouncing on your very own personal trampoline (known as rebounding) choreographed to specific music in a group setting of die hard Pilates devotees sounds like a fun idea? Did you ever think that rebounding would ever give you (an adult) the chance to strengthen every cell in your body along with every muscle that supports the core musculature? Did you ever dream of becoming healthy and strong by vertically bouncing on a surface that absorbs 87 % of the shock, burns 350 more calories than running and contracts your abdominals at the bottom of every bounce? DREAM NO MORE! CARDIOLATES® IS NOW YOUR REALITY!!!

CARDIOLATES®, developed by Kimberly and Katherine Corp, owners of Pilates on Fifth in Manhattan, is an exciting new workout combining all of the cardiovascular benefits of rebounding with the core strengthening and aligning benefits of Pilates. With its focus on form and posture throughout, CARDIOLATES® strengthens every cell of your body in its optimal alignment. It challenges and ultimately strengthens the deep, stabilizing, involuntary muscles which control your balance and augment your core strength.

The facts have proven that cardiovascular activity is essential for both the health of our hearts and the need to develop lean body mass. CARDIOLATES® was developed with this in mind and is the best solution for combining Cardio and Pilates in one. The method is clear! A fast paced cardio workout that reinforces Pilates alignment principles for optimal posture while rebounding. Because rebounding combines the three forces of acceleration, deceleration and gravity, it strengthens every cell and muscle in the body. By focusing on optimal alignment while bouncing, one can expect to strengthen the deep postural muscles in the body's ideal upright alignment.

While rebounding, your body receives double the gravitational force at the bottom of every bounce, and up to 3-4 times the force if you're jumping high. Yet, because the mat absorbs 87 % of the shock, rebounding does not have the negative jarring impact on the joints such as jumping or running. NASA has used rebounding for years to condition astronauts before and after space travel, and their studies show rebounding to be 68 % more effective than running.

The benefits of CARDIOLATES® are endless! Rebounding fortifies the immune system by releasing toxins throughout the body, increases balance and agility, improves endurance and cardiovascular health, strengthens the core musculature and deep pelvic floor muscles, aids in fat loss, and increases bone density. All the more reason to try it! See Class schedule for days/times offered. Please e-mail the studio to sign up for this class.
