People always ask me what the best exercise program is, and my answer is always the same - the one you will do! If you hate to exercise, you need to find what you kind of like, so you can continue to do those things. For instance, I love weight…

So many women over 50 assume that age equals atrophy, and that we necessarily lose muscle tone and bone strength as we age. So much can be mitigated with simple health habits and functional exercise! I would love to help you feel and function at your best at any age.…

Reminder - Being Fit Comes In Handy In Emergencies In this time of pandemic, I'm reminded how important it is to be prepared - and I consider physical fitness to be a large part of emergency preparedness. Seriously - what if you have to carry your kids or pets, especially…

Pilates Teachers - Why It's Important to Specialize I know that "common sense" would tell you that it's best for your Pilates business to be open to all, but in this case common sense is just plain wrong! Focusing on a niche market allows to you serve people at a…

It's Pilates Pro-Tip Tuesday1 Have you ever stopped doing an abdominal exercise because it hurt your neck? The issue is usually positional, and doesn't involve having your chin to ceiling or chin on chest. Knowing how to hold your head will allow you to strengthen those abs and your neck…

Mindset Monday - On Fear of Judgement Fear of judgement is a powerful thing, and can stop us from doing our best work. Basically, how other people think and feel is really not under your control, and therefore isn't your business. People will, in fact judge you. And that, my…

Since all Pilates teachers teach similar exercises on similar apparatus, whether classical or more contemporary, is it possible to be truly creative? I believe that it is! We show our creativity through the roadmaps that we create to get our clients from where they are to their goals faster &…

Did you know that only 39% of women over the age of 19 exercise regularly - which means that 61% of us don't? And did you know that exercise has no downsides? Seriously, none! Exercise helps your bones & muscles stay strong, helps your mobility & endurance, and keeps your…

I continue to be amazed at how actually nasty Pilates professionals can be to one another on social media, particularly in groups. Especially now, we all need to be serving & sharing at our absolute highest level. Fellow Pilates teachers who are trying to serve their clients and help people…

Pilates Teachers - A Start of Year Pep Talk As a Pilates teacher, you are in the unique position of helping people feel and function better - which is a skill most people don't have. Not only that, but we can typically help people reach their goals - be they…

The Importance of a Holistic Approach to Osteoporosis I find that people tend to go to extremes when faced with low bone density and fracture risk. We either ignore it, making no changes and hoping for the best, or we go all in and start to do everything we read…

While muscle strength is always important, it is even more important for women over 50. Here I explain why strength training important, why women shouldn't worry about lifting heavy, and what muscles actually do for us (and yes, muscle strength can help build bone strength). I will be guiding 12…
