I hope everyone had a great Mother’s Day weekend! Although it’s Tuesday I can still feel the Mother’s Day love from my son and of course Rocky. I’m super lucky to have the best son in the world who doesn’t hold back the hugs and kisses everyday. At least not yet, he’s just 8 years old and not to embarrassed about it in front of friends.
Over the weekend I spent a few days in San Diego with some amazing fitness professionals from around the world who share the same passion in helping millions of people get in shape, stay fit and live a healthier lifestyle. I had the pleasure to hang out with one of my best friends from Canada, Shawna K.
She’s known as the “Pull-Up” Queen. One of the many amazing qualities about Shawna is she pushes me to be the best I can be and to share all my knowledge and passion I have for Pilates and not hold back.
Whenever Shawna is in town I give her a few Pilates Exercises to do and she’s always amazed with how intense she feels the workout in her core. But let me explain, one little thing here. She is one of the strongest women I know both physically and mentally. She can bust out 32 pulls up like nothing and if you think I’m kidding check her out HERE.
When she comes to town she gives me one of her workouts and she pushes me through the workout and encourages me to not give up. I love my Pilates workouts and I love to add in a few extras to always challenge myself and improve.
Just like in anything you do, whether it’s challenging yourself to a new exercise program or breaking a bad habit of eating fast food. Make a promise to yourself to challenge yourself to be the best you can be! I know it may sound silly but have you contemplated:
“Starting a new workout?”
“Pack a healthy lunch for work?”
“Take some much needed me time?”
Take baby steps, then jump in and take charge and challenge yourself to make some great things happen. What’s the worse that can happen? well not much worse than not taking any action and moving away from achieving a personal goal. I’ve had many of my Pilates clients tell me I need to get in shape first before I start working out. The answer to that is absolutely not. Just like I mentioned before, if you want to see Shawna’s Challenge Workout head over HERE.
There’s always a starting point to anything we do, especially with beginning a new routine with a fitness program, just do it and get it started. I always tell my beautiful Pilates ladies I’m proud of them for stepping out of their comfort zone and get closer to their goals.
Oh and while I was in San Diego I did this quick Pilates Workout in my hotel room,
try it out and let me know what you think!
