My mother is a pilates teacher and I’ve always watched her as she worked with love and passion, however I’ve never understood how truly amazing pilates is. I’ve been doing on my own pilates workouts for a year by now and with my mom’s teachings I’ve seen major changes in my physique that not even thousands of cardio workouts could achieve. Also I have to give props to whoever invented pilates because you can stay in your home, without sweating too much and wearing comfortable clothes and at the same time getting effective results. So I chose to share some of those videos with all of you and I’m going to update everytime I find some new that I enjoy and think are suitable for everyone.
Be aware! some common mistakes people do and that I’ve done for a long time:
don’t hold your breath, breathing is your friend: exhale during the hardest part of the exercise and inhale during the resting part
DO NOT ARCH YOUR BACK! THIS IS SO IMPORTANT. If your lower back is hurting you’re not working your abs at all but you’re just hurting yourself. Don’t push your body where you aren’t comfortable, there are always modifications you can do.
always keep the core strong when you’re in plank positions, otherwise you’ll be working your wrists instead of your abs.
when you’re doing squats be careful to your knees, they have to be in line with your toes: you want to work your booty and quads, not hurt your poor knees.
open your shoulders, stay tall like you have a glass of water on your head and open your chest because your back needs lots of love and care since we always neglect it: posture is so important!
don’t think working out as pain in the ass: it helps your body, it’s a moment of healing after all those hours spent at school or at work, it’s a moment of recovery and serenity that you owe to yourself.
once you stop fantasizing about that ideal version of yourself and start working towards becoming that person by setting your alarm clock earlier and actually going to the gym and actually volunteering at places and actually eating healthier and not procrastinating and working just a little bit harder you’ll realize that it was so easy all along. becoming your ideal self will only ever exist in your mind until you make the decision to work towards becoming that person. get up!! get going!! it’s now or never!! there is no light at the end of the tunnel!! get that flashlight and pave your own path bitch bc no one else is going to do it for u!!
i’m tired of seeing the same basic exercises being recommended so i made a short list of three of my personal favourites!
• pelvic tilt toe tap
lay down on your back and tilt your pelvis up a bit so that your back is flesh with the ground. bend your legs as if you were about to do sit-ups and gently raise and tap your toes on the ground. the exercise gets harder the more you extend your legs. you can do this one in bed!
• push up and rotate
this one is pretty self explanatory. after each push up rotate onto one arm, stacking your feet one on top of the other. switch arms each time.
• belly to squat
lay down on your stomach and jump your feet forward coming into a squat. jump your feet back and go back to belly. you can start this one from a plank too!
i hope this was useful! remember to take breaks when you need them and to not push your body past it’s limit. stay safe!
I can’t find the original post for these but!!! I wanted to share how mine came out and they are delicious! I opted for a little bit of vanilla extract and they are perfectly sweet!! if anyone can find the post I’d love to give credit, but I’ll put the instructions down beloww
Ingredients:
3 egg whites
1 tsp of baking powder
A couple drops of vanilla extract
A tiny bit of salt
Tsp of oil of your choice
Set oven to 350
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and whisk until nice peaks form and you can turn the bowl upside down (I suggest an electric whisk, hand whisking takes forever)
take a sheet tray, cover with aluminum foil, and oil ( if you don’t have enough oil they stick and it’s a nightmare)
Take a spoon and dolup mixture onto pan
Bake for 10 minutes, or until tops are golden brown
Enjoy!! I added a bit of cinnamon for sweetness 💕💓💗
