Pilates saved my life!

I’m not here to say Pilates is for everyone because it’s not. And I’m also not saying it was an overnight change. I remember feeling so terrible about myself all the time and nothing was helping. I was killing my self at the gym doing weight and nothing was fixing it. I tried 12-3-30 didn’t work for me. I tried weight lifting it didn’t work. I tried hot girl walks and nothing. Until I found Pilates there was nothing I could ever say consistent with. The key to becoming your happiness self is finding something that you love and being able to stay consistent with it.

👍Pros:

-fun workout

-community

-I saw real change

-cute Pilates outfits (;

🤔Cons:

-can become really expensive depending on what studio you go to.

-is intimidating at first

... Read morePilates is more than just a workout; it’s a holistic approach to physical and mental wellness. Many individuals have experienced profound changes, from increased strength and flexibility to improved mental health. The beauty of Pilates lies in its adaptability, making it suitable for diverse fitness levels and preferences. Users can engage in group classes or opt for private sessions to suit their comfort. Furthermore, Pilates emphasizes community support, encouraging participants to motivate each other, which can significantly enhance dedication and consistency. Those beginning their Pilates journey may initially feel intimidated, but numerous studios offer welcoming environments designed for newcomers. As with any fitness endeavor, understanding the financial commitment is crucial, as some studios can be costly. However, many offer varied pricing options, including online classes that can fit your budget. On the flip side, the investment often leads to valuable friendships and lasting lifestyle changes. This wellness practice is not just about physical transformation; it promotes mindfulness and self-acceptance, crucial for anyone looking to improve their overall well-being. Whether you're considering starting Pilates or are already a fan, celebrate the joys and unique experiences it brings into your life.

How Replacing Heavy Lifting to Pilates Changed Me✨
I want to add a disclaimer that every single persons body is different. My body was easily stressed with heavy lifting, and I couldn't go more than 2 days a week doing it without my body reacting negatively to it. Do I REGRET lifting? No I don't! I'm happy with the legs I built through

Pilates lower ab workout (lose the pooch!)
One of the hardest areas to target are your lower abdominals. Often times these muscles grow weak from sitting a lot and having tight hip flexors/low back. Overtime this can lead to abdominal separation and cause your organs to stick out more than usual! Yes, as women it is normal to have your
