It’s been a while since a post but a new haircut begged for it. I had Covid pretty horribly in December. It kicked my t**h for three weeks and then in February, I started losing my signature ginger curls en masse. I wept in the shower having no idea what was wrong with me. I had no idea this was a side affect of the wicked virus, but apparently it is.

For the last four months I’ve kept what’s left of my hair quite literally under wraps (aka a ball cap). Today, I told my hair stylist, do what you have to do, because it’s been so brittle and unhappy. Well, here you go.

My color will be vibrant again…one day. My curls will return to their vivacious ways. I’m still a curly girl and ginger, through and through. Until then, I’ll rock a bob and feel dang sexy doing it!

It was a whirlwind of a weekend in for the , but it was time well spent with the best of the best, 5x Miss Figure Olympia and 2x Arnold champ . If you want to be better, surround yourself with those who are best at what you are striving towards.

Cydney is everything you would think her to be - humble, gracious, classy, knowledgeable and generous (with her time, encouragement, knowledge and experience). She is most definitely a reflection of the beautiful family from which she hails (shout out to Mama T and her sister Alex).

So many wonderful friends made, too: . I am grateful for these sisters in bodybuilding who lift one another up rather than tearing each other down in this competitive endeavor.

Strength is a journey of tearing, stretching, restoring, consistency, commitment and resilience. Marriage is the same. We had a fabulous weekend celebrating with family and friends — reflecting on the year past and looking forward to what’s to come. Love you, babe ❤️ You are a mighty man of God and through the ups and downs, your faithfulness to God and family is an inspiration and I am beyond grateful for you.

I’ve noticed students often have a hard time activating their glutes and abductors in the short box series with the tension of the straps being at the ankles. They simply have a difficult time creating a sound connection to “the powerhouse.” I decided to get a little bit closer to the source by putting a resistance band around the thighs so he could better find the connection. Success! (and fear not my Pilates purists, I then took the band off and he was able to replicate the sensation using just the foot straps).

Intuition, in my opinion, is one of the most important skills we can’t be taught - it must be curated through practice…as a teacher and as a student. We may learn from a manual in teacher-training programs, but intuition brings it all to life. Intuition is key!

I LOVE seeing people do hard things - things you told yourself weren’t possible. To my Ladies - you CAN do body weight exercises like pull-ups and push-ups and dips. If you’ve told yourself “I can’t” reword/reframe that. YOU CAN! I am cheering for you and would love to help you reach your goals! Aim for progress over perfection 💪🏼

FINALLY got my nephews in the studio!!! Super proud of these two basketball 🏀 superstars who realized in one session just how much this method will improve their game. Two days in a row and they want to come back tomorrow. That’s what I’m talking about! Consistency. Consistency. Consistency. To them “ball is life” ⛹🏾 but maybe they’ll make room for Pilates in it! Plus, they are just super fun and want to excel at whatever they put their mind to. Love it!! Never too young to get the foundation of Pilates literally under their feet 🦶💯

Take a deep breath, we are almost there! Plus, the best is yet to come! Objects in the rear view mirror (aka: Year 2020) may appear closer than they are but as far as I can see 2020 is in the past and the future’s so bright, I’ve gotta wear shades 😎 Bring it 2021 🥳

How are you rocking out the last day of 2020?! Started the last day of 2020 with one of my fav mom-daughter duos .t.quinn and . (and we somehow ended up all in camo just so 2020 couldn’t find us). So stealthy sneaky 🧐

So, what’s your take? Was it your best year or second best? It definitely didn’t go as I expected but golly did it end on a high note so bring on 2021! I’m ready!!!

Look what I found 👀 Reformer in beautiful red upholstery! We match 😁 ❤️

I am ALWAYS on the lookout for great Pilates finds. If you are looking to sell your Gratz Pilates equipment, send me a DM and let’s see if we can make something happen from which we can both benefit 🙌🏻

A most magically excruciating massage today that was sorely needed 🙏🏻 No fluffy zen massages for this body 😴 Recovery/restoration is soooooo important for muscular gains. Push weight in the gym. Work the tension of springs in the studio. All good for shredding muscle...but without recovery (sleep — and bodywork for me) it’s for not. Sleep is when your body goes to work rebuilding muscles like those little green guys in Fraggle Rock (come on now, you know what I’m talking about 😆)

If you live in southeastern Massachusetts, I have the BEST deep tissue/sports massage therapist — Wendy at Muscle RX (Holbrook, MA) is your person! Give her a call at 508-617-0905 and let her know I sent you ❤️

Am I the only one who is slightly obsessed with push-ups??? I love them — anywhere🤸‍♂️! Here they show up on the Universal Reformer in the Control Balance series. I’ve been dealing with unwelcome “crunchy” wrist sounds in my left wrist so I need to stay really mindful of form...but I’m not about to leave them out of my training!

How about you - are you a lover or hater of push-ups? Do you have a favorite style - wide, narrow, diamond, planche, handstand, archer.....?? In Pilates, where is your favorite place to do the push-up?

In my experience, so many people, especially women, think that a push-up is so out of the realm of possibility. But with practice and good form and good queuing they are totally possible. Mastering push-ups is a huge confidence booster for so many people. So what if you have to start on your knees! Work your way up to full body support in your push-ups no matter which version of push-ups you do and you will be so proud of yourself! Whatever you do, don’t just write them off and out of your work out. Make them a part of your workouts. You’ll be so glad you did. They work your chest and triceps but the whole body benefits from them!

On this day of mixed emotions, recalling 9/11 nineteen years ago, I thought the Tower exercise on the Cadillac would be a apropos exercise to remember those lives lost, but never forgotten. ❤️🙏🏻

It’s soooo so very important to take the tie to look under your and inspect the integrity of wheels, straps and springs. I’ll post more on what I found under one of these carriages and if you haven’t inspected yours recently, you, too may be in for a scary surprise 😳
