Pilates on Main

I just LOVE this...

Forget stocks. Forget crypto.
Your body is your real portfolio.
And muscle? That’s your lifelong dividend.

It protects you.
It strengthens your mind.
It keeps you moving when others start breaking down.

But society praises hustle and burnout…
While ignoring the one asset that actually gives you freedom.
A strong, capable body.

Treat muscle like wealth
The return?

Energy, resilience, confidence… and a longer better life.

This is why we move...

The irony is that many people fear exercise will hurt them, when in truth, it’s the absence of movement that causes the real damage. Avoiding activity may feel safe in the moment, but over time it steals strength, mobility, and vitality. Movement is not the enemy; it’s the very thing that protects us from decline.

DON'T FEAR EXERCISE.... FEAR THE COST OF STANDING STILL.

I just love those lightbulb moments, that have made my understanding of Pilates grow over the years...

“Fall in love with the process, and the results will come.” — Eric Thomas⁠

A powerful reminder for every Pilates teacher and student: mastery is built through presence, patience, and practice.

Love this...

We weren’t designed to sit still.
We were engineered to move—for survival, for strength, for connection.

Modern life made things easier… but at a cost.
What was once a necessity is now optional. And our biology is paying for it.

Movement isn’t punishment.
It’s restoration.

Start simple. Stay consistent.
You’re not just moving muscles—you’re reminding your system what it was built for.

I do not take credit for these words or the pictures. I liked what I read. The words relate to consistency in running as well as consistency in staying healthy and strong through life. I saved them in my notes without the authors name.

So true.

"Everyone talks about motivation.
But momentum is what changes people.
Motivation comes and goes. It’s emotional. Fleeting.
Momentum? That’s built. Earned.
Layered, day after day.

I’ve watched it for 25 years in orthopedics: The ones who stay healthy aren’t necessarily the most “motivated.”

They’re just the ones who kept showing up, especially when they didn’t feel like it.

One short walk. One set of squats. One moment of movement. That’s how momentum begins.
And momentum, over time, makes you unstoppable."

So stop thinking, planning, intending... execute, and start today. And by the way, it is never too late.
