Here’s a few sample workouts for you.
Piloga-Chi is referenced throughout this website. When I was 22 years old, I was diagnosed with an ulcer. Are you kidding me? How much stress was my 22 year old body trying to manage? In hindsight, not very much, but at the time, it seemed earth shattering. Sooo, fast forward to my introduction to stress management, self care, and Tai-Chi.
As an exercise enthusiast, I found the marriage of Pilates, Yoga, and Tai-chi to prove a perfect fit for my body. There have been times of lots of exercise, and times that I put myself on the back burner. Just like you, my body has been more and less healthy at different times of my life.
When I first thought about these videos, I found myself hesitating, because I didn’t post my first video until I was in my most unhealthy state. Again, it wasn’t for lack of knowledge. I had all the tools, and all the information, but was severely lacking in my dedication to execution.
Sound familiar?
In an effort to remain fully transparent, feel free to join me on my journey to rediscover the benefits of exercise, but most importantly, to fall in love with the body that provides us with life, again and again.
Permission to fall over
Sometimes we really have our ish together, and sometimes not so much. Progress counts as success, and don’t let anyone tell you anything different!
Update: It seems as though I selected the wrong microphone….so if you need to rely on my voice, this video may not be your best option. I do remember my husband recommending that I at least watch my video once before posting….ooops!
Shake it anywhere…
Kids home, dogs barking, taking a lunch break….sometimes that’s when we make time for ourselves to move, get some blood flowing, and breathe.
Core what?
There are times we feel amazing and times we fell slightly less amazing. Regardless of the current state of your body, your core is the center of your physical being, and totally worth the taking the time to strengthen.
Grunting and Growning
Have you ever exercised and then regretted it? Probably not…we most often find ourselves feeling better, but we resist the plan over and over again.
Dogs and distractions
Sometimes taking the time for you feels super inconvenient, but that’s okay….it’s okay for us to learn how to grow comfortable being uncomfortable.
Day one, not done
Find your position, any position that works…and learn how to breathe!
