I have been receiving some feedback that many who wish to try pilates are feeling intimidated because there is a lot of verbiage/talk of activating certain muscle groups and areas of the body that are completely foreign to those who(m?) are unfamiliar with pilates basics.

Quarantined, but I still have a nice ass (30 minute BOOTY FOCUS pilates flow)
Another day gone and the relative number of fucks I give grows dangerously low. I wonder if I will be left with anything resembling a filter at the end of all this? Nothing we can do for now, except try to stay positive and ignore the stress, desperation and fear that is circumnavigating the generalContinue reading “Quarantined, but I still have a nice ass (30 minute BOOTY FOCUS pilates flow)”
Lazy Day Legs and Dogs
Good Morning Readers! Round two of fitness videos with the worst lighting. Literally the worst, it’s just terrible.

Sitting down, standing up, normal things are so unbelievable painful. Hamstrings are large muscles and can take months to heal. ForContinue reading “Working out through an injury”
Surviving Barre Class
Goooooood Morning readers! We just survived our annual mid-March snow extravaganza. The power promptly went out and we listened to a podcast about Pompeii by candle light. The fact that I didn’t leave the house yesterday normally would have had my eyes rolling into my head (the most common side-effect of cabin fever) butContinue reading “Surviving Barre Class”
The Danger of Motivational Quotes
Good morning! I am couch bound with a heating pad, and I’m getting pretty depressed about it. The pain in my back for the past two days has made day-to-day activities pretty excruciating. Why this sudden flare of pain? Well I couldn’t stop working out. After one invigorating and amazing session of mat Pilates IContinue reading “The Danger of Motivational Quotes”
