Happy Life Movement Studio

Pull out a Pilates mat and men walk on by. Pull out gym rings and men walk right up 😎💪

When I travel, I search for nearby calisthenics parks. I also make use of the calisthenics equipment at Lakes Park in Fort Myers.

I’ll be traveling to Grand Cayman and lucked out there is a new calisthenics park within a 5 min walk from my hotel!

If you don’t have a ladder, chances are you can follow along with some of our workout locally or when traveling.

This park is located in Nokomis, Fl, adjacent to Legacy Trail.

My class arrived just as I was pulling down theYoga Slings. The disappointment was real!

Studio closed Thursday -Sunday this week!

Hanging on to what’s important. Today, that means mobility and stretching!

Single leg squats develop G. Max, correct asymmetries, builds hip stabilizers and has a decreased load on the spine.

We do them on the ladder, in what we called the Climbing Block, to enhance balance, proprioception, the core and upper body.

Swan Dive on the Pilates Chair, modified for the client’s skill and confidence.

Push, pull, climb, hang, lunge and squat.

It’s worthwhile to explore the Roll Down Bar on Low settings on ladders, towers and springboards.

Our series faced in and out, with pushing and pulling and arms/back extension.
