Having read all the above posts l know exactly what you all feel. 'Re going back to Pilates, l do belong to a group in the village run by a very professional physiotherapist who is great, however, l discovered an online Pilates site ...TheBalanced Life....$19per month with all the moves demonstrated, care to be taken, and, most of all,your encouraged not to beat yourself up just because you can't cope just yet, they tell you to be kind to yourself, there's encouragement from fellow sisters ( once you've joined you can elect to belong to the Sisterhood, which means you can email how you're getting on, how you're feeling, what you have/haven't achieved and encouraged to carry on. There's also a recipe bundle. Good food recommendations, menus to follow and to lose weight - if that's what you want. You can also join month by month, or yearly. Personally,lm going with a monthly membership.
I've joined for this March month, l'll probably join next month too, lm in the same place as many of you are, feel very disinclined to lift a finger, but several days ago, when the sun shone so brightly all day, l went for a short walk around the garden among literally thousands of daffodils. What a difference, l actually did a couple of jobs, wow, l felt so virtuous.
Now it's snowing again. Hmmm.
At some point lm going to do one of the Pilates workouts, it's only 15...20 minutes, but effective. I'm sure that once lve moved myself once, ll get motivated. Robin Long who started the Balanced Life website is very supportive, and you can read about it if you go online. Without committing.
Comically, you can watch her doing the workouts on the beach where she lives in Santa Barbara, whilst you go along with her whilst doing yours,...whilst it's snowing.
I do hope this cheers someone up - hopefully it'll motivate me too...hopefully! Can't promise....
