Even a 5 minute workout on holiday helps.. you are worth it..
We are constantly told the benefits of moving our body, to keeping us in good physical shape, improve our balance, keep a good posture, positive mental health, and digestion too.
This can be easier to make happen when at home but when on holiday or travelling it gets harder to keep to a routine and ironically our need for moving the body and Pilates increases.
The videos under 10 minutes are proving popular for this reason and below are locations that you have used these mobility moves to make your body happy, improving your day and avoiding feeling stiff uncomfortable … Can you add to my list?
In a car/ plane - mobility please! sitting still until your body fuses into a sitting position. We’ve all been there. Stand up, rotate the spine, roll your shoulders and grab a quick mobility video under 10 mins
Hotel room - travelling? lonely? couneract both by grabbing a 20 minute Pilates session in your room. Im my “glamorous fashion days” of working in a corporate job i used to fly to New York and found I suffered from constipation throughout the trip. NOT what you want.. how i wish i’d known about Pilates and how a few moves could help get the digestion system working..
Coming back from illness.. a 60 minute class may feel too much. Ease into better heath with the short videos
By a pool - keep feeling lose and swim wear happy by adding in a couple of short Pilates videos on holiday. Feel good for the rest of the day..
At home with the kids there too - Its not always possible to leave the house/ commit to a class if childcare isn’t there or your boss is making demands. Lean on the videos to give you that mental break and chance to grab a moment for you.
Before or after a horse ride/ bike ride / run- for my sporty clients who appreciate the benefits of how Pilates positively feeds into other sports, its a great chance to add a mobility or stretch video pre of post a ride or run.
Life is busy. The dishwasher, supermarket, washing machine, TV, “to do” list, life admin, dog, will always be nipping at your toes.
To continue exist and cope in this life it’s so important to look after YOU.
To keep your body and mind happy to enable you to keep living your life as best you can. Why? Because YOU matter and YOU are worth it
