Stretching on the fly; Airline uses Pilates to prevent blood clots from sitting too long. Pilates on planes is now a reality -- and it drives home the fact that sitting for too long can be hazardous to your health. British Airways recently added Pilates, special isometric exercises that strengthen and stretch the body, on its flights as part of its Well-Being in the Air program.
But trendy Pilates isn't the only way to prevent cramping, soreness and, in rarer instances, circulatory problems that can result in blood clots. Any form of moving around regularly will do the trick, say health and fitness experts.
"What you're really talking about is doing a series of basic stretches followed by some strengthening exercises to get circulation moving," says Moira Stott-Merrithew of Stott Pilates, a Toronto centre that runs a studio for exercisers and trains instructors to teach the mind-body discipline.
Pilates was developed in the 1930s by Joseph Pilates, a German nurse who aided the wounded in confined quarters such as army hospitals by teaching them simple resistance and stretching exercises. Now, the workout -- which can be done by using just the body, or with the help of special spring-resisting or other equipment -- is a mainstay of studios and fitness clubs across North America.
British Airways offers on-board Pilates exercises in a video and inside an in-flight magazine for plane passengers to follow. The exercises were developed by England's Body Control Pilates Group. On its Web site , health experts who consult for British Airways say reduced blood flow due to immobility may lead to deep vein thrombosis -- a blood clot in one of the deep veins, usually in the leg.
While most research involves hospital patients, including the bedridden and elderly who are at high risk, some studies have examined how many people with deep vein thrombosis have travelled in the weeks preceding their diagnosis. They've found there may be a link between long journeys and clots. For that reason, some call the condition "economy-class syndrome." But most sufferers usually have risk factors such as a previous personal or family history, abnormal blood clotting or certain forms of cardiac disease. Deep vein thrombosis may lead to heart and lung problems and cause chest pain, shortness of breath and even death. Although healthy and younger travellers are not generally at risk of clots, they can benefit nonetheless from moving about during short or long trips in confined quarters, Stott-Merrithew says. Pilates can easily be done sitting in a chair, which is why Stott- Merrithew's instructors work with people in wheelchairs and at offices, where employees are taught limbering and strengthening movements at their desks with an eye on back-saving good posture. "There are a lot of exercises you can do in your seat, isolating the shoulders and shoulder girdle, mobilizing the spine and contracting and releasing the abdominals (stomach muscles, which are isolated in every Pilates move)," Stott-Merrithew says.
She gives these simple exercises while sitting -- contract (squeeze in) the abdominals and move one knee up towards the body and then back down to the floor. Repeat with the other leg. You can also slide one leg away from you and then pull it back in. For the upper body, while keeping your back straight to emphasize good posture, stretch up one arm at a time over the head. Stott-Merrithew says sitting in one position for too long can result in slouching, so it's important to move around regularly to prevent back pain.
Fitness trainer Augy Marmelo, who works out of the Four Seasons Hotel in Toronto, encourages travellers to get out of their seats -- stand in the plane's or train's aisle, for instance -- and stretch the different muscle groups. He also recommends that travellers on flights that don't have organized fitness plans look into one of the many books that offer exercise ideas.
The Road Warrior Workout (Hatherleigh) includes a chapter on stretching and relaxation moves and poses -- based on yoga's meditative principles -- that can be done even in tiny quarters.
The exercises designed by L.A. yoga instructor Sara Ivanhoe include upper-body work such as shoulder rolls and stretches. For the legs, try a "lotus-like" position while seated -- bring one foot to where the leg meets the body at the groin, and squeeze the right knee down toward the floor. Repeat on the other side.
