New Fitness Workout at Club Pilates for Summer Workout Regimen

Jun 17, 2019

Pilates

My new fitness workout for my love of the summer season. My first workout was trying a thirty-minute intro class at Club Pilates. I took Pilates back in 2012 at a local yoga studio. All the exercises at the yoga studio were from the mat.

Club Pilates

My class at Club Pilates uses a reformer which I loved. The reformer supports the back and allows for fluid movement of arms and legs. I did not feel any strain on my neck from any of the exercises. By using the reformer I am able to adjust the setting for positioning my head depending on the exercise. The exercises from the floor and mat were easy for me to maneuver. I like the diversity of exercises to work the entire body. There were exercises from the floor and using resistance bands.

Diversify Workout

One of my favorite options of working out at home is the ability to diversify workouts. Pilates is excellent for improving posture, flexibility, and overall movement. I like the movements that allow me to stretch, use my core with proper breathing. Club Pilates offers a number of classes, times, and days. I am going to try the Suspend class next because it incorporates Pilates with the TRX.

One of the best goals I have worked on is using different types of equipment for strength training. It has increased my muscle mass, flexibility, and endurance. The best way to stay motivated is to include different forms of exercise you enjoy. There are a number of classes whether it is yoga, pilates, boxing, TRX, or kickboxing trying something new adds more fitness motivation. Club Pilates offers a number of packages to choose from for various schedules. I am planning to do a package that will allow me to do a class per week in addition to my strength training.

The Winter Season Slows Down My Fitness Motivation

Feb 20, 2019

Winter

Winter and Workouts

The Winter is draining mentally and physically with the cold unpredictable weather and time change. I swear living on the east coast slows down my fitness motivation. When the weather gets cold, I want to come in and curl up on the sofa with a cup of hot tea. It is so easy to get sidetracked when the time goes back and daylight is shortened. Last week I was unmotivated and broke my workout streak. I think every now and again there is mental burnout so when I get in I just want to sit on the sofa until bedtime. This was exactly what I did last week.

Meal Planning Failed

My meal planning was off as well. Each week I try to plan meals for the weeks and that felt like a job. This usually means I spend more money out on food instead of preparing meals at home. It was a week full of chocolate due to Valentine’s Day. Chocolate is my favorite cheat snack in moderation. This week I went a little overboard.

How to Get Back on Track?

  • Plan my workout schedule for three times a week
  • Grocery shop for meal planning this week
  • Do more protein this week including my whey protein
  • Increase strength training for this week
  • Schedule my yoga class
