My Pilates Journey!

I  started using pilates about 9 months ago. After having 2 kids and struggling to find something that not only fit my post-babies body but also fit my busy mom schedule, pilates is by far the perfect fit. No equipment, no money investment and best of all I could do it right in my living room during nap time!

Because I have the kids, I wasn’t able to go to a gym or park and exercise. I didn’t have 2 hours to spend on a rigorous cardio routine. I didn’t have the money to invest in equipment to put in my house in hopes I would use it. So, I tried pilates for the first time.

 It was perfect! I started off with 10 minutes a day! Pilates can be done right on the living room floor while the kids are napping. I started with the beginner level and worked on my core ( that was for sure my most needed area to strengthen after having kids). I had noticeable results in just 3 weeks. My body showed small gradual changes. Not only that, I feel stronger and healthier. 

Today….

Today, I do advanced level pilates. Usually completing 30 minutes a day. I have never felt or looked better in my life. I was very athletic in high school ,but I feel stronger and my body looks better than in high school. It wasn’t a magic overnight transformation. It took time, hard work, and dedication but it has been well worth it!

I had major back issues and pain, I had that stubborn belly fat, I had aches and pains more and more, and I felt sluggish more often than not. Now, my back has completely healed, my belly fat is now muscle, I feel great and have no pains, and I am strong and energized!
