N2Fitness

I introduced myself to pilates a month ago after having been in the gym lifting weights, doing cardio and introducing myself to every aspect of interval, dynamic training, drop sets, giant sets, pyramids, etc...You name it I have tried it.  I came from the old school mentality of training hard, resting those muscles for 48 hours and expecting soreness.

I remember Madonna talking about pilates and yoga about 6 or more years ago...she shocked all of us with her amazingly lean physique and flexibility.  I was intrigued but for some reason never started it...why???  This goes back to me not doing things for NUMERO UNO!  I made the decision this year to take back my life and starting pilates was one of the factors in my master plan.  I wrote a blog earlier this month about meeting Monika and Michael Nobs, owners of Performance Pilates in Chesterfield, and the amazing connection I felt when I walked through their doors.

I am doing a monthly check in as to my progress and my experience.  I would love to hear from you if you do pilates at a center; whether that be in group classes or private and what your experience has been.  I am amazed at how many muscles I have not worked over the years, simply because the gym experience has always been working those BIG muscles and not the stabilizers that get the workload in pilates.  Ladies have been loving this form of exercising for years but now we are seeing both men and women and even children doing pilates.  Men used to see it as a woman only exercise until they get introduced and realize how great it is to work those core muscles, help with balance and stability and give you that lean look that the men and women of Hollywood are sporting.

I would love for you to join me in classes or experience private lessons firsthand...this is truly changing my life.  Their website is www.performancepilatesstl.com.  Do this now..don't wait until January 1st when everyone makes those New Years resolutions...start early and you will be two months ahead of reaching your goals.  Let's Move it! :-)
