Pilates is for Every Body
I know, just what the world needs, another blog…but this one is not about politics or humor (too bad) or child rearing or dog training (no expert there)…this is about PILATES!
Pilates is what I teach, study, appreciate and love. I know, for me, that working out is a must. It makes me feel better and helps me look better. And truly, what I know about this form of exercise, is that I’ll be able to do it for the rest of my life. It will always be just the thing that my body needs, because Pilates is individualized. You can be a stiff football player and do Pilates…or a woman who has never done an minute of exercise in her life and still do Pilates.
When I started taking private Pilates lessons, I did beginner exercises and as I got better, added more and more until now I’m considered advanced. However, when I was pregnant, I had to eliminate and modify certain exercises. BUT I STILL DID PILATES. At times, I have clients call to say that they hurt their back playing with their kids or they injured their wrist and don’t think they can come in for their session. Usually, they still come in and we work on exercises that don’t exacerbate their injury, but help strengthen the rest of their body. I know that when I’m in my 50s, my 60s, my 70s and even my 80s, I’ll still be doing Pilates.
That’s what I really love about it.
