Suspicious activity under the graffitied motorway bridge…

Despite what it looks like, it’s not The Horbury Crime Syndicate nor a rapping girl band filming their debut music video…

THIS is some of the “YOUNG AT HEART POSSE” going rogue whilst I’m on holiday. Keeping active and as always… proving age is just a number and that injuries & illnesses are no match for their PMAs!

Super-duper girlies. Love this! Very proud. And can’t quite believe you were allowed out without supervision 🤷🏻‍♀️

(COUPLE OF DISCLAIMERS… With regards to No3 -I didn’t invent biomechanics-it’s scientific facts. Also, No6 -yeah, I know!)

If you wanna be really boring like me, then you’ll follow this advice.

OMG 🙈🙈 I asked ChatGPT:
“What’s another way of describing ‘the sparkly member’?”

So here’s Rachel… who apparently could also be referred to as “his glitter cannon”, “the sparkle sausage” or “the bedazzled baton”!! 😭😂

This “sparkly member” of our Wednesday 10:45 “Young At Heart” class rocks up every week with a smile, enthusiasm, and a whole lot of laughter. She’s actually like popping candy in human form -albeit always late!

I genuinely can’t think of many real-life situations where toe-touching is a required life skill. So stop worrying about it!

Unpopular opinion: being super flexible isn’t always a good thing.
Loads of flexibility but lacking in strength = joints that are basically freestyling!

Pilates is not just for the bendy folk that walk amongst us.

There are 34 original Pilates exercises and you can do a version of every single one of them without being flexible.

Pilates is about strength, control and stability. The flexibility -it’s just a side effect.

Stiff, bendy or anything in between… don’t let that be the determining factor in giving it a go.

No toe touching required! ACTUALLY.
