Creating a Building Block can include all of the following EXCEPT?

Creating a Building Block in a Pilates context involves strategies to enhance a student's understanding and performance of exercises by simplifying or modifying them. The techniques included in Building Blocks typically involve working within a familiar context, using modifications to facilitate proper alignment and muscle engagement.

When moving to a different piece of equipment, it can introduce new challenges and variations that may not align with the goal of simplifying an exercise or making it more accessible for a student. This approach can disrupt the continuity of learning and may not effectively support the core aim of Building Blocks, which is to incrementally develop a student’s ability and confidence within a specific exercise or series of movements.

In contrast, working more proximally, shortening the range of motion, and using "helping hands" are all strategies that align with the objective of Building Blocks by focusing on a single piece of equipment or movement. These methods help students build strength, improve technique, and gradually increase their capabilities without overwhelming them with new variables and challenges.
