Do you want to look great, feel better and still have more energy? It's not uncommon to feel like your losing energy, especially towards the afternoon or evening. For this reason we should remember to prioritise doing a bit of physical exercise. Pilates is a favorite of mine and is one of the best ways to balance the mind and body. It is so easy to get started anyone can do it. It just takes a little bit of practice to learn the routines. Here are a few tips to get you started.
Many people like to jump into Pilates without any training but I recommend getting some guidance to begin with. It can take a long time to kick unhealthy habits. Follow along with someone who has been practicing and teaching Pilates for years. I'm not saying you should go out and pay for your own lesson. There are other ways you can do it. There are many experiences Pilates teachers who have guided Pilates routines on various DVD's
You will want to be in a place where you can't be distracted. Turn the phone off if you can. Find a nice quiet place to workout where you can go through your Pilates routine uninterupted. It's best if you set aside a special time for this. After all your body is worth it.
Don't forget to practice at least a few times a week. You will notice you have more energy and can think more clearly. When you haven't done something before, or for a long time, it can be difficult at first. If your muscles hurt a bit after the workout don't worry. Once your body is used to the exercises you will really begin to enjoy it.
I find many like to start a program but few persist with it. We have often taught the body to work in a negative way through lack of exercise so give the body time to respond in a positive way through exercise. The rewards are certainly worth it.
