I feel a lot of change in just 3 weeks. I’ve stayed committed to doing 3-4 pilates sessions on my own. Not only am I really enjoying it, I already feel stronger, my back feels better, my hips feel better, my movement is better…..I needed this reminder that Pilates for me can’t just be my job, I have to spend more time doing my own practice because I’d simply forgotten how good it makes my body feel! What does Pilates do for you?

Just a reminder - it doesn’t always feel ‘perfect’ some weeks you fly through your hundred and feel you have finally ‘got it’ other weeks you get to 50 breaths and your ready to die! You have to take your practice as it is on the day, don’t beat yourself up if it’s not perfect, practice is what will help the ‘off’ days become fewer, and on those ‘off days’ even 15 minutes is something, just keep it going, your next class or practice could feel perfect 🤩

Just a reminder….stay consistent. Sometimes it feels easy, other times it’s hard….the more you do the Hundred the better it gets 😉 but you won’t get there until you stay consistent…..make a decision to keep consistency in your practice and within weeks you’ll feel the difference in your strength, just get over the hump!
Save this if your staying committed to being consistent 💛

Sitting all day at work, school runs and stress…by the end of the day your back can feel stiff and sore, all you need to do is a little bit of movement.
These exercises are all to move your spine and so stretching the muscles in your lower back. The more you repeat them the better you should feel. If you feel pain at any point don’t do that exercise.
Try these after a long day and let me know if they help!

📌Save this quick tip! I love to use the ball to help with rolling exercises…..but it’s there to help you do the exercise properly NOT for you to switch off and cheat!
🔑Gently roll back and tap the ball and use your tummy muscles to roll back up.
🔑Don’t squash and flatten the ball
🔑if you find it hard to engage your tummy muscles move the ball a little further away
🔑When you find rolling back and engaging your tummy muscles easier, REMOVE the ball! It’s a prop there to help you get the rolling movement, once you have it, you don’t need that ball! Props are great to help us find an exercise, but there not there to be used forever!
Find this helpful, share with someone who struggles to do the roll up and engaging their tummy muscles.

🤫my big secret……I’ve been 100% avoiding doing Pilates….why? I’ve got lazy, been too busy,
doing everything else but what I really need to do, and my body is paying for it. I’ve been struggling through sciatic pain, and lower back pain for the last 8 months, running through the pain and trying to ignore it….ive been here before and it ended with me needing back surgery, I’m not going down that road again, I fixed myself before, I just have to do it again. So I’m committing to 3 x 30min self practice a week, for 10 weeks - 30 sessions to see if Joseph Pilates ‘you’ll have a whole new body in 30 classes’ will actually work 🤞🏻 follow along and see if it works!
