First pilates class survival guide

💕For anyone thinking about trying pilates, here's my suggestions as a 6 years' teacher:👗 Wear form-fitting clothes! The instructor needs to see your alignment (I wore a cute workout tank and leggings) 💧 Bring water but sip slowly—chugging during exercise is NOT the move 🎀 Hair tie is essential! Keep those locks out of your face while you're trying to concentrate 🧠 Drop the perfectionist mindset! Nobody nails every move their first time. I was wobbling all over and guess what? Nobody cared! 🍽️ Don't eat a big meal beforehand—my pre-class smoothie was perfect🧦 Consider non-slip socks if you're not comfortable going barefoot (studio floors can be slippery!) 📱 SILENCE YOUR PHONE! The studio vibe is peaceful and focusedMost importantly—just show up! Trust me, every beginner is so nervous about looking silly but seriously, taking that first step was the hardest part. After that you will completely hooked! #PilatesNewbie #FitnessJourney #Wellness #BeginnerFitness #SelfCareRoutine

Real Talk: Getting Beach-Ready (No Gimmicks)

I used to think getting ready for summer meant starving myself or doing endless crunches. Turns out, it’s way simpler (and less miserable) than that. 🔸 Set real goals. Figure out what you want—lose weight, gain muscle, or just feel stronger. Snap a before pic and track your progress with measurements, not just the scale. 🔸 Eat smarter, not less. Load up on veggies, lean proteins, and drink plenty of water. Watch out for sneaky sugars in sauces and breads. If you’re craving a drink, swap sugary cocktails for a glass of wine. 🔸 Move your body. Cardio 3-5 times a week is solid, but pick something you actually like—walking, biking, dancing, whatever. Even parking farther away or cleaning the house counts. 🔸 Strength matters. Mix in some squats, lunges, planks, or yoga to tone up. High reps with lighter weights can do wonders. Keep it simple, stay consistent, and don’t forget to celebrate small wins. You got this! #FitnessJourney #RealResults #SummerStrong #Health #Fitness

Tried Aerial Silks? Here’s What I Wish I Knew

I signed up for my first aerial silks class thinking it’d be all grace and zero sweat. Spoiler: it’s a killer workout, but so worth it. 🔸 Get your upper body and core ready. Pull-ups, leg lifts, and rows at home make those first climbs way less brutal. 🔸 Don’t skip stretching. Warm up your shoulders, arms, and even your hands. Trust me, your muscles will thank you later. 🔸 Always learn from a pro. Silks look fun, but trying moves solo is a fast track to injury. Start with a beginner class or aerial hammock for extra support. 🔸 Practice the basics—like the French Climb and foot locks—close to the ground until you’re confident. No shame in taking it slow! It’s tough at first, but every little win feels awesome. Anyone else get hooked after their first class? #AerialSilks #FitnessJourney #TrySomethingNew #Health #Fitness
