Pilates Testimonial – Increased Strength Allows New Mom To Better Care For Her Baby

Hooray another success story!

This week one of my ladies was happy to report that she is feeling much stronger after only a few weeks of regular Pilates and yoga classes.

She told me:

I was put on bed rest for the last few months of my pregnancy. I felt weak and was only able to hold my new baby for a few minutes at a time without getting tired. Now I can hold him for hours at a time (he now weighs 20 pounds). I feel stronger and more in touch with my body.

This is a perfect example of how strengthening your core can positively affect your life.

Who cares how much time you spend working out if it does not improve your quality of life? More time with your family, sailing through your day pain free, now that’s something to work for!

Client Testimonial – Pilates

One of my clients just emailed this to her friend and copied me. I’m blushing…

 

I COMPLETELY LOVE my Pilates instructor Anne. Her classes are awesome and really fun, despite being hard work. The back pain that led me to surgery a little over a year ago is just not part of my life anymore – and my recovering from the surgery would not have happened without Anne. I hear she’s also an awesome massage therapist 😉
