When life comes full circle
The last 4 weeks have left me with a sense of what it feels like - when life comes full circle!
Getting to introduce the world of Pilates to a 15-year-old, who is the same age as her mother when she first started working out with me has been special.
Seeing her go from “I don’t like exercising” to “I feel strong, I can do this daily!” has been simply wonderful.
How Things Look
I often point out to my clients and students, ‘To make a movement look easy and simple requires a lot of work. Don’t judge an exercise by how it looks.’
Exercises that look fluid and easy, even graceful, often tempt us into wanting to try the same. We overlook the work and time required to reach that level - to make the movement look like that.
The Power of Breathing
Our breath can have a profoundly positive impact on our bodies. Conscious, aware breathing can help reduce stress, lower blood pressure, improve focus and concentration, increase energy levels, lead to faster recovery from fatigue. I could go on!
Consistency is Key
Consistency is really the key starting point to achieving results in your exercise program; in anything in life actually! After all, no work-out is going to give you results if you don’t actually do it.
