How's your week going? Are you keeping to your plans of what you wanted to achieve this week? Are you hitting your health and fitness goals? If not, it isn't too late to do something about it. Let us know in the comments how you are doing. Or if things have not gone to plan, what you intend to do! If you need any help please shout. This is NOT just about Pilates. In other news, I just dropped a new session which is a live Zoom recording from Saturday in to the Zoom recordings category in classroom. If you have not yet got yourself to level 2 (which unlocks pretty much everything in here) then it won't yet be accessible. However, if you make a post introducing yourself, and a few people like and comment (basically community engagement) then you will probably be level 2 within around 20 minutes. OR... You could take the shortcut and get on an onboarding call with me where we can jump on a Zoom call and make a plan for you, depending on your goals. And then I'll open (almost) everything up for you. Link below to book 👇 Please dive in and engage! Make your introduction posts and welcome each other 🤝 https://outlook.office365.com/book/PilatesGuy@pilatesguy.co.uk/

For every additional 2,000 steps perday, heart disease, cancer and premature death drops by 10% - peaking at 10,000 where impact drops off. Get in that activity. If your daily steps sit at or below the 4,000 mark, thid is classes as sedentary, you NEED to get moving. 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️

How did you do last week? And how will you do next week? Have you ever noticed that many people struggle to see results with their health and fitness goals and eventually lose motivation? Often, it’s because they haven’t been able to maintain consistency, build good habits, and ultimately, achieve their goals. 😫 But here’s the good news: **Accountability is one of our most powerful tools!** It can keep us on track and help us stay consistent. ✨ **This Sunday, let’s make our SPECIFIC commitments for the coming week in the comments below!** Here are some examples to inspire you: - 🍫 **Snacking:** "I will not eat any processed snacks until the weekend." - 🤸‍♀️ **Fitness:** "I will complete a 25-minute On Demand session every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday." - 🏖️ **Holiday Practice:** "I will dedicate 10 minutes daily to my practice, even while on holiday." - 🛌 **Sleep:** "I will go to bed one hour earlier every night." - 🧘‍♂️ **Stress Relief:** "I will practice 10 minutes of breathing exercises daily to manage work stress." **Remember, the more specific, the better!** Instead of saying, "I'll drink more water," say, "I will drink 2.5 liters of water each day." Instead of, "I'll try to snack less," commit to, "I will not eat any processed snacks all week." We’ll be here throughout the week to cheer you on and provide support. ✅ Make your commitments below, and let’s hold each other accountable! If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to shout out!

This weekly post could be game changing if you are repeatedly doing things which aren't helping you, or not doing the things you should. Whether you want to lose some weight. feel better with more energy, get rid of your bad back, get fitter and faster - you've got to do the actions required to get the result. If you;re still doing the same old things and not being challenged, you probably need a change of strategy. Or you need to increase frequency, intensity, time spent, or change/adapt the type of activity. BTW doing 1 Pilates session "most" weeks is not going to be enough to make much tangible change. SO.... How did you do last week? And what are your goals for next week? **Accountability is one of our most powerful tools!** It can keep us on track and help us stay consistent. **This Sunday, make your SPECIFIC commitments for the coming week in the comments below!** Here are some examples to give you an idea of how to structure your commitments, they need to be specific and measurable - not vague and generic. - 🍫 **Snacking:** "I will not eat any processed snacks until the weekend." - 🤸‍♀️ **Fitness:** "I will complete a 25-minute On Demand session every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday." - 🏖️ **Holiday Practice:** "I will dedicate 10 minutes daily to my practice, even while on holiday." - 🛌 **Sleep:** "I will go to bed one hour earlier every night." - 🧘‍♂️ **Stress Relief:** "I will practice 10 minutes of breathing exercises daily to manage work stress." **Remember, the more specific, the better!** Instead of saying, "I'll drink more water," say, "I will drink 2.5 liters of water each day."
