Was anyone else sore from last weeks class?

Such an inspiration for so many reasons and this is just the icing on the cake. #notoriousrbg #smartcookie #legend #ageisjustanumber
Achy injured bodies: Meet Jackie. Jackie started Pilates 5 years ago after her mom begged her to try a class at LSF. A Physical Therapist by day and mom by night, she always went for the quickie CrossFit workouts so she could get back to her hectic life. That was until she met me!
Pilates at LSF is different. We teach you how each exercise should feel when done properly because most of our bodies have developed bad patterns of muscle activation.
When Jackie realized she had been doing a simple clamshell exercise incorrectly (and probably letting patients as well), she decided that simply assigning exercises to people will not do them any good if they are still using the same poor mechanics that got them injured in the first place. She signed up for @balanced_body full certification.
5 years later, and Jackie is now full time Pilates instructor and PT, specializing in therapeutic and corrective exercise. She is now booking PilatesPT sessions on Monday and Thursdays.

Little snapshot of our last photoshoot with @wrm_photos
Yes we are wearing masks 😷 and no it ain’t a big deal! Get some good masks that you are comfortable in. My favorite (and I am wearing in this video) is the @athleta made to move mask. It’s very wearable and now I’m catching myself wearing it way after all the clients have left.
If you are still timid to workout in a public space, that’s understandable. I have not been back to my gym. The thought of huffing and puffing on a treadmill makes me uncomfortable in a mask. We have done everything possible to make LSF a safe space, including a UV air scrubber system and mandatory masks. We keep the ac on full blast so you aren’t breathing hot air. There is never more then 7 people in our studio at one time and everyone who has been back feels very comfortable.
If you are hesitant because you don’t want to wear a mask, I suggest you try it out before you make up your mind. If you are breathing properly (through the nose, not the mouth) and you have a good mask (thank you @athleta ) then it is not a bother. #wearamask @balanced_body @coachcrystalsmith @bahoose @jkladden @waynepabiz #pilates #allegro2 #pilates #fitness
These ladies rocked it this morning in piSTRENGTH. piSTRENGTH is our athletic pilates classes that does higher reps and a lot of standing work to get heart rate up. #shakesarereal

Find at least 5 minutes a day to bring some awareness to your body and breath and let the body move. It will tell you what it needs if you listen. Or, come to a class and let us tell your body what it needs. Either way- get moving!

Happy #nationalsonsday to the most curious, loving, and happy boy! Thanks for always sharing your cookies and for putting a smile on my face every morning when you wake me up at 5am. You make me and @gmckee22 so happy!
We look crazy here but we love jumping arms with the #allegro2 jump boards. Don’t be mistaken by the name- this exercise uses every single muscle in order to avoid face planting (no 🤕 yet!). Give it a try tomorrow at 8am with @bahoose or take it down a notch and get your feel good workout on at 9am piLength. #pilates #mainlinepa @balanced_body #reformerpilates
Today’s flow at 9:30. Tomorrow new class time: 7-7:45 strength with @k_amchatka 🙌
If you missed this awesome flow with @bahoose today, you will get another chance on Monday @ 9am 🙌

Did you know we have two classes on Sunday now? 8:15-9 for our early risers and 10am for the rest of us 😴
Hard to believe it’s been 11 months of worrying, uncertainty, and lots of 😷. Some people are dealing with the loss of loved ones. Some of us are worrying about finances. It’s A LOT!
From March ‘20 till Jan ‘21 I was feeling sorry for myself. By 7pm I was rewarding myself for making it through another rough day by indulging in TV or cookies or 🍷. Some days, all of the above! Not getting great sleep and waking up feeling crappy became the norm.
By January I had had enough of the new norm and I decided to stop feeling sorry for myself. My body and mind deserve the best I can give it. Getting more sleep, reading at night, and saving the cocktails and sweets for the weekend. I’m waking up earlier and getting my workouts in and my body is thanking me.
You deserve to take care of yourself, too. We all do. If you haven’t tried a pilates class here, you are really missing out. Feeling like crap does not have to be the norm...It’s time!
Check out my chat with @highfivesuccess on how LSF has been navigating COVID-19. It’s a great interview that is sandwiched between two other amazing local businesses @shopskirt and @cornerstonewayne

When you think of a good workout, what comes to mind? For me- I like to challenge my body in new ways. Otherwise, our bodies are constantly trying to take the easy way out to conserve energy. Over time, we adapt and dysfunctional movement patterns become the norm.
At LSF, we challenge your mindbody connection, not allowing you to “take the easy road” during an exercise. We throw away poor mechanics and we reinstate healthy movement.
This sounds heavy- but we keep it simple for you. You leave feeling challenged both in mind and body.
So if your workout is not working for you, why are you wasting your time with it? Try something new... thank me later 👊🏽
