Mat Workout - Add on Mat™ is a Level 3 class for teachers and really strong clients who wish to challenge themselves in a somewhat "grueling" fashion. Do the hundred rest, then, the Hundred, the Roll Up, rest, the Hundred, Roll up, Roll Over, rest and so on. As class progresses, Kara will taper the amount of repetitions, but this class in not for the faint of heart or for people who practice Pilates casually. Make each repetition better than the one before and never forget the importance of the transitions. Kara teaches with determination, precision and never forgets to have a little fun. Good luck!
When we originaly posted this class we were unaware that Add on Mat™ was the intellectual property of Distinguished instructor Kathryn Ross-Nash. Kathryn was kind enough to let us continue using it but thought we'd like to know the story behind it beyond what we learn here from Kara. You can read how Kathryn originally put this class together below, and what's even better, is we are working on dates for Kathryn to come teach the class herself along with a workshop! All Good!
The creation of the Add on Mat™ Class in Kathryn Ross- Nash's own words:
"Several years ago my oldest child was studying for the PSAT’s. I glanced at his vocabulary workbook and thought,” now this is interesting”. Here was a method of learning and memorizing that I could employ in the teaching of Pilates. My son had the Stamford Vocabulary Builder book. The way the lesson was constructed helped to reinforce and build at the same time. The lesson began with one word and then used it in a paragraph, then the next word was introduced and BOTH words were used in the next paragraph. This went on for 100 words. I then thought back to the days when Romana would have us do one repetition of each exercise to strengthen our knowledge of or and flow. With the marriage of these two learning tools the Add on Mat™ was born. It helps to create flow, improves concentration, helps the transitions to become part of the work out ands solidifies the order of the work out. It definitely gets your blood moving!"

Ann McKnight I finished it this time. Very nice pace and wonderful challenge. Thanks. Yes, the sound fades out every once in awhile but once you get the sequence it doesn't matter too much. More like this. It is nice to have more options on level 3. 8 mos ago |

Kristi Cooper (Moderator) Because of the energy of the class and the nature of the movements in relation to the microphone that Kara is wearing, there were many high peaks of microphone noise and reverberation that we opted to diminish or remove to better your workout experience. Unfortunately, that meant some of the words were also cut in the process. We'll look to do it differently next time if possible. Thank you for the feedback. 8 mos ago |
