Moving my body makes me feel most alive - whether I'm exercising or dancing. They both give me all the feels! . What about you? What makes you feel most alive? . Surely, there's quite a few fun ways to get that "on top of the world " feeling. As expected, my 2 choices made it to the research list:... . 1. Go experience nature. Being outside just feels right. Walk by the lake. Climb the mountain. Watch the sunrise. Run around in the rain - remember Gene Kelly from Singing in the rain? . 2. Dance! Remember that one time you got tipsy & actually danced & didn't care about everyone watching? (Being tipsy is optional) . 3. Exercise Pump some iron & get adrenaline pumping. . 4. Blast your favorite bad-ass song Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven or Eminem's Lose Yourself? . 5. Sing or scream at the top of your lungs Remember that out of tune lady singing the song Knock Me Off My Feet for the new Astro Natural Yogurt TV commercial? . 6. Laugh until your belly hurts Go see a stand up comedy show or movie like Borat? . 7. Be part of a winning team! The Queen's Gambit team or Biden Harris team! . 8. Drive fast...really fast! Think "Fast and the Furious"! . 9. Make love and/or have an outrageous make- out session Like there's no tomorrow! . 10. Practice an act of random kindness. Giving feels really good. Sometimes we forget exactly how good. . . . . . #alive #feel #dance #movement #pilates #exercise #movementismedicine #health #fitness #happyspine #happymindhappybody #mindandbodyconnection #mindfulmovement #mentalhealth #activelifestyle #pilatesstudio #pilatesathome #staysafe #stayhealthy See more

Another reason to Pilates - IT OFFERS AN ADDED BOOST TO YOUR SEXLIFE! When new clients came to the studio & for the first time saw the Pilates equipment with its straps, trapeze, poles, belts, springs, chains and other fun accessories we have... they often wondered and laughed to themselves, thinking it resembled a medieval sex machine or something straight off the movie of Fifty Shades of Gray. . During one of the classes, lots of questions & messages went back and forth... with the other ladies, as we were doing exercises on the ball, focusing on the pelvic floor muscles, overall mobility and bridging. Since this has been the topic lately and I've been asked a lot recently about how Pilates can improve your sexlife, I thought I'd share one of the write ups I came across with (link below). . Synopsis - Benefits: Pilates makes your whole body stronger. Your body literally opens up to explore more positions Hello, more intense orgasms! Your body awareness increases . "Samantha from Sex in the City (all hail Queen Samantha and her infinite sex wisdom!), educated us all by drinking a cosmopolitan and doing her kegel squeezes at the same time!" . https://www.studiopp.com.au/pilates-for-better-sex/ . You asked. We answered! . . . .

Just Treats No Tricks! . Did you treat yourself last night? I most certainly did. How could you not with these sugar cookies & pumpkin spice ? Shared some to my clients & we all absolutely loved it....so mmm delicious! . If you're feeling extra sluggish this morning, it could be from a post-Halloween sugar. But don’t beat yourself up if you went overboard for last night. Here are a few steps you can take to bounce back from that sugar hangover quickly ... . Drink up!!! Lots of water. Stay hydrated. Try mixing it with freshly squeezed lemon. Eat regular meals including protein, healthy fat and a lot of green veggies to balance your blood sugar and to boost vitamins& minerals. As always, move your body. Exercise will help you to feel energized and will boost your happy hormones. . .
