Feeling Strong
My youngest child is four and I am definitely done having children. The idea of getting pregnant and having a baby followed by a year of nursing/chasing a toddler was and has been my excuse for not quite being where I want to be physically. And I’m not just talking about slimming down. I’m really talking about feeling strong.
I’m 36 years old and can’t touch my toes. I have basically lost all muscle strength that I once had and there are even times I throw out my back from turning too quickly. I definitely am not feeling strong – at all.
I see my future and I don’t like it. I don’t want to be hunched over, I don’t want to lose my range of motion prematurely. I have to do something.
And so, after two years of hearing about Lagree and how amazing it is for your body, I decided to try it.
Pilates Plus Yorba Linda
When I first walked into Pilates Plus Yorba Linda I was a little nervous as I have not worked out in a class setting in a very long time. I also didn’t really know how to use a Megaformer. I was immediately greeted by the owner, Jami, who has the brightest personality and could be twins with Kristin Davis from Sex and the City.
I watched as she greeted each and every person – she knew about their weekend plans, their children – and even remembered that one person wasn’t feeling well the week before.
During class started Jami was more than willing to help me learn how to use the Megaformer as well as help me modify exercises.
The class was hard, but not impossible. I think in my head I always thought I would never be able to finish one of these classes because I wasn’t flexible and I wasn’t strong enough. But the amazing thing about working on a Megaformer is that everyone is having their own experience.
After the first class, I was already feeling stronger. If you are wanting to feel empowered, and see what your body can do – you must try Pilates Plus Yorba Linda! No matter where you are on your journey Pilates Plus Yorba Linda will help you to get to where you want to be.
So here’s to feeling stronger – start today!
