Women’s Expo
Come see us at the Connecticut Women’s Expo in Hartford today and tomorrow. Maybe you’ll be the lucky winner of a free Pilates class. You might also have the opportunity to get a postural analysis!
Willpower
New research has shown that willpower is just like a muscle. You have to train it to strengthen it and it can be overworked and exhausted. That means that by the end of the day it’s harder to have willpower since activities during the day have depleted it’s stamina. It’s not just about food choices and fitness. We use willpower to get up in the morning, not gossip at the office, and not speed in the car.
Try and help your willpower succeed. Use these two tips:
1) Get a good night’s sleep
2) Plan and make dinner in advance so that you don’t have to use your willpower later in the day. Having everything already prepared will mean you don’t have to make a decision to eat out or cook something easier and less healthy.
Another Pilates Video–Head Wrestling
I love that they spent time doing this. Check out Joe Pilates’ (he is the shorter guy) shoes–not too shabby. This video shows head wrestling, arm wrestling, and pole wrestling–three past times I was not familiar with.
Pilates Footwork
The word is getting out about the importance of foot health and how Pilates can help. Check out this article in the Hartford Courant.
Pilates Video
Check out this video on YouTube of Joseph Pilates doing some of the original exercises. You’ve got the love the saw! But watching him do the roll over and roll up is pretty amazing. Her really does have control and grace. From this link on YouTube you’ll be able to find other videos of Joesph doing the exercises.
