About Carlates
Q: What is Carlates?
A: Carlates is similar to Pilate's. It is centered on the amount of time that you are given in traffic. For examples: waiting at that long red light, staring at the train going by, getting stopped in mid driving for a bridge opening and closing. These are the perfect times to experience what we call "Carlates time". Carlates focuses primarily on the powerhouse as well as working your entire body in unison. Traffic demands you to leave your home earlier so you will not arrive late for work or other additional commitments. Traffic may add a significant amount of stress and frustrations along with fatigue. Go ahead and put a positive spin on traffic delays caused by red lights, bridges and trains. We experience these delays everyday, no matter what your day consist off. It never ends! Never give up! Take care off yourself and give Carlates a try...you may be surprised of how you may feel better both physically and mentally.
