Pilates – It’s Got Your Back
As seen in Louisiana’s Health & Fitness Magazine in the fitness section: http://www.healthfitnessmag.com/articles_fitness.html
What can Pilates do for YOUR back? Check out my article. It explains how Pilates works to protect and even rehab your back issues.
No excuses to miss Pilates
I know. It’s winter. You’re cold. It’s dark out. You’re wearing too many layers. There’s a myriad of excuses to suit everyone who falls off the fitness wagon. But the reality is, your tush is still going to be attached to your body come bikini season whether you ate your way through winter or continued on the Pilates path.
I highly recommend the latter.
If you don’t want to go out to get in a Pilates session, try the twins downloadable videos at www.ultimatepilatesworkouts.com. You can pay per downloaded workout or pay a flat monthly fee and download a set amount per period. As an instructor, I do the monthly plan and have been able to get fresh workouts for my clients and even do some at home via the laptop. There are workouts from mat and small ball to reformer and chair and even Cadillac. All levels are represented and the workouts marked intermediate, actually are intermediate. What a refreshing idea!
We all make excuses. I wish I had one as to why I haven’t posted in such a long time other than it was the holidays, I have three kids, my dog ate my blog site…. But eventually we need to get past them and move on. Literally. Try moving to these workouts – they really are well-cued and easy to follow for beginners. I’m not even getting paid to say this. Seriously, they must be good.
Happy Pilates!
