Busy Mom Trying To Fit In Your Workout? Pilates Is The Best Solution
If you are a busy mom you know you need to exercise to take care of yourself. Are your days as long as your to-do list? Is fitness even on that list? It’s a tough balancing act to run your household, prepare nutritious food for your family, and make time for yourself. Are you finding time to stay strong and sane? What if you never had to leave your home to receive the best Pilates workout in Bloomington? Consider your wish granted! You can achieve a quality workout within 30 minutes from home with my online Pilates classes.
I’m also a busy mom and I know how challenging it is to find time to breathe by yourself let alone exercise. Pilates is the best solution for moms like you who are struggling to add fitness regularly to their schedule. Classical Pilates strengthens your entire body in every workout and gives you the opportunity to just breathe! Don’t worry if you’ve never tried it. Whether you’re a beginner or coming back to Pilates after a break, I’ll teach you the movement so you build a solid movement foundation. Pilates can seem easy breezy in the beginning, but the heat kicks in as soon as you’ve mastered the fundamentals.
What Does Pilates Do for Busy Moms?
Pilates helps you to breathe better; makes you aware of your body and how you move in space; improves your posture and makes small tasks like picking up your kids easier to perform. Over time, you learn to move with ease even when you’re in a hurry, like when you’re late to music class. Pilates builds good movement habits, so you can do what you love to do for many more years down the road. Good posture and good habits mean no more tension in shoulders from simply pushing the shopping cart or stroller. You’ll always engage your whole body to pick up your child or a basket of laundry. Or a suitcase. Or bags of mulch. Or trays of food. Pilates supports athletic training as well: the high-intensity training is based on the same fundamentals that you learn as a beginner. You’ll have more energy to chase your kids around in the yard or even to start running again.
Pilates is fitness and wellness all rolled up together. The exercises are good for you and make you feel better. And, did you know that an advanced Pilates workout can be done in under forty minutes? You’ll sweat buckets by the end, but the work you do is the same as a vigorous jog, plus lifting weights for forty minutes each. Classical Pilates is efficient exercise! I know you don’t have time to feel exhausted from exercise. The best part about Pilates is that you will feel invigorated instead of sore and tired after you’re done. You will especially feel the difference the day after.
Pilates is good for clearing the mind. The classical order of the exercises jogs your memory while you work out–the order is always the same and it becomes the blueprint for your wellness. You can tell how you are doing on any given day, for instance, by how you do The Hundred. If you don’t know this exercise, oh, you’re in for a treat! Because of this classical order, learning Pilates exercise is like learning a language or a musical instrument. If music is ordered sound, Pilates is ordered movement. It is literally music for your body!
At a time when moms are being pulled in different directions, Pilates is the best way to find your focus. It challenges you both mentally and physically, so that you are ready to face your day with a better sense of purpose. When you take care of yourself, you are better equipped to take care of others.
