A growing number of men, including singers Shaggy and Harry Styles, are taking up pilates. When I realised I could no longer touch my toes, I decided to try it out

✨Awareness is the first part of change✨

This is where I think we go wrong with exercise ALL THE BLOODY TIME.

Something hurts? Stretch it.

Something feels weak? Strengthen it.

Knee hurts? Do some squats.

🤦‍♀️

What is actually happening? Often the thing that hurts isn’t the thing causing the problem.

Your knee might be collapsing because your hip isn’t doing its job.

Your shoulder might be screaming because your ribcage is in the wrong position.

And sometimes your “weak” muscle isn’t actually weak. It’s just not being recruited properly.

This is why I bang on about awareness.

Learn to notice how you move. Where you compensate. What’s doing too much, and what’s doing nowt.

Once you can see it, you can change it.

That’s where good coaching comes in - with anything in life. A good coach can see what’s causing your problems and help you to fix them.

Not giving you 17 random exercises from Instagram.

Not making you sweat for the sake of sweating.

Not throwing more reps at a movement pattern you haven’t bloody understood yet.

Look first, understand what’s happening, then start to change it.

Once you’ve got the new patterning down, you strengthen the s**t out of the new pattern.

And, I’m not just talking about exercise here!

Your body is constantly giving you information. You just have to learn how to listen to it.

Oh get a good coach who can help you bring awareness and see what’s going on..
