Movement on holiday looks a little different… and that’s a good thing 💛
I’ve just got back from holiday and, like most people, my movement looked very different to my normal routine.
There was plenty of walking, swimming, exploring, dancing, holiday park exercise classes, stretching, getting in and out of the sea… and yes, also plenty of sitting around, eating good food and relaxing! 😍
And it reminded me of something I often talk about with my clients:
Our bodies love variety.
We don’t need to be doing the same workout every day to be “active”.
Walking challenges your body differently to Pilates.
Swimming feels different to strength training.
Dancing is different again.
And sometimes… resting is exactly what your body needs.
This is one of the reasons I love Pilates so much. It’s not about doing one type of movement forever — it’s about building strength, mobility, control and awareness so that your body can enjoy all the other things you want to do too. 💜
So whether you’re on holiday, back at work or just getting back into your normal routine, think about how you can move in different ways rather than feeling like you have to “work out”.
Your body will thank you for it. ✨
And if you’re feeling a little stiff after travelling, sitting around more than usual or simply getting back into routine… a little Pilates might be just what you need! 💛
