Thinking of trying out Pilates or getting back to an exercise program?
Here is our list of the top five things NOT to expect during your Pilates session (virtual or in studio)!
Number Five
Don’t expect to feel bad about not exercising or not being in as good of shape as you think you should be. It happens to everyone and we will help you realize that getting back into shape is easier than you think.
Number Four
Don’t expect to be so sore that you can’t walk down the stairs or lift your arm to brush your hair. We know that exercise need not leave you in pain to be effective. You can expect to get a great workout; perfect for your body!
Number Three
Don’t expect to do the same thing every session. We design each class or session to meet your needs on any day and those needs are constantly changing. Expect us to tailor your exercises to your body and continually challenge you with new variations and movements.
Number Two
Don’t expect to do everything perfect the first session or even your 100th session. I know this one is hard for most of us and especially if you are a perfectionist! Pilates is designed to challenge your body and your mind so you can continue to evolve to the best you!
Try not to be so judgmental toward yourself and KNOW that the benefits of Pilates are more dependent on you doing it regularly rather than how perfectly you do it!
And the Number One Thing to NOT Expect about Your Pilates Workout
Don’t expect to dread coming in to the studio to exercise. In fact- most of our clients look forward to coming in (or signing in to a virtual class)! This may be hard to believe if you have always been a person who just doesn’t like to exercise, but trust us on this one, You will love your Pilates workout.
