Some things just need saying so here are just a few Pilates home truths!

IT IS NOT A TREND
People were doing Pilates long before every man and his dog jumped on the bandwagon.

IT IS NOT FOR FLAKEY FOLK
You cannot learn what you keep cancelling.

IT IS NOT QUICK TO MASTER
It takes years.

IT IS NOT A REGULATED INDUSTRY
Unfortunately, a weekend course and a social media account can be enough to teach Pilates.

IT IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR STRENGTH TRAINING
Pilates complements it. It doesn’t replace it.

IT IS NOT EASY
It may look graceful, but it doesn’t necessarily feel that way.

IT IS NOT EXCITING
Repetition is how the body learns, develops control and builds skill.

IT IS NOT MAT EXERCISE PICK ’N’ MIX
Doing random mat-based exercises and calling it Pilates doesn’t make it Pilates.

IT IS NOT A FREE-FOR-ALL
The original mat repertoire consists of 34 exercises.
Exercises can be broken down, modified and progressed — but the goal is always to work towards the original exercise.

IT IS NOT JUST FOR GIRLS
It was created by a man and was originally used to train men.

IT IS NOT YOGA
They are two completely different disciplines.

IT IS NOT A STRETCH CLASS
It’s about strength, stability and control.

IT IS NOT AN ABDOMINAL WORKOUT
It is a core workout. There’s a difference. Your abs are only part of your core.

SO WHAT IS PILATES THEN?!

IT IS A METHOD.
IT IS A SKILL.
IT IS A PRACTICE.
IT IS A CHALLENGE
… and it actually works! 😘

I’d like to publicly thank Lottie for the glowing testimonial! 🙈
She was meant to be encouraging people to try Pilates…

Instead, according to Lottie, it’s “agonising”, “challenging” and “irritating”!

(Irritating?!) 😂

To be fair, Lottie is permanently in BEAST MODE, so going slow, concentrating and controlling every movement isn’t exactly her forte.
She specialises in throwing herself at it like she’s fighting for her life. 😂

And THAT is why Pilates is hard.
It’s not about smashing through reps or moving as fast as humanly possible. It’s about control, precision, stability and making your muscles work when they’d much rather take the easy option.

So anyway…

Come and try our advanced mat work.

It’s challenging.
It’s hard.
And it may occasionally be… irritating. 😂

Thanks, Lottie. Really nailed the marketing. 🙈

When I say I don’t do made up Pilates…I don’t do made up pilates.

Proof that THE SEAL is REAL.

As published in Joseph Pilates book “Return to Life through Contrology”.

There must be a misprint in my copy though coz it doesn’t say to make a “Honk Honk Honk” noise when you tap your feet 🤷🏻‍♀️

Exercise 30.
Only 34 Exercises in the book.
There’s the book.
There’s the evidence.
I rest my case.

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 🤷🏻‍♀️

Ladies. Ladies. Ladies.

Fabulous event.

Tomorrow night.

Horbury.

They’ll be talking all things menopause and even have a fabulous guest Pilates teacher (not me BTW!)

Still some tickets left but if you can’t attend you really really should give Empower-Menopause a follow.

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.
