The importance of keeping a regular work out Schedule
Today I want to talk about the importance of keeping a regular work out schedule. When someone first comes to a Pilates session one of the first things they realize - this is not a typical workout. The instructor has a great deal of knowledge to share and during a session will only focus on a few key points. I like to use the first sessions to get the client to “give into” the work. Once they can quiet the mind the session will begin to flow.
By keeping a regular Pilates practice, 2 - 3 times a week, you will find that sessions will begin to flow - the focus will increase and the feeling or soreness will subside. Also (and remember that this is my living) if you do Pilates on a regular basis and miss a session it is no big deal, but if you only come once a week and miss a session you are creating a huge gap in your routine.
Now you might be thinking to keep up a regular practice I might have to sell my couch. This does not have to be the case. Most gyms today offer mat pilates, and almost all studios offer mat pilates and group reformer classes. You should be able to come to 2 - 3 sessions a week for less than the cost of going out to dinner.
Research your options with your instructor, set up a schedule and most importantly - KEEP TO IT!
