Strength training is a beautiful kind of stress. You load the body, fire up the sympathetic nervous system (your "go" gear), spike cortisol and adrenaline, and ask your muscles to do hard things.

But here's what most people miss: the adaptation, the recovery, the actual getting stronger part… all of that happens when you flip the switch back to "rest and digest."

That's where breathwork comes in - and why we do it at the end of every Love Strong class. A few minutes of slow, extended exhales after you train does something quietly powerful. The long exhale stimulates your vagus nerve, which down-regulates your nervous system out of stress mode and into recovery mode. Heart rate drops. Cortisol drops. Blood pressure softens. Your body finally gets the signal: we're safe, we can repair now.
Without that down-shift, you can leave the studio still wired — and wonder why your sleep is patchy, your shoulders are up by your ears, and the next session feels harder than it should.
Try this after your next strength session:
↳ Find a comfortable seat or lie down
↳ Inhale through the nose for 4
↳ Exhale through the nose for 8
↳ Repeat for 3–5 minutes

That's it. No app, no equipment. Just the most underrated recovery tool you already own.

Strong body. Settled nervous system. That's the whole goal. ❤️

They shall grow not old,⁠
as we that are left grow old;⁠
Age shall not weary them,⁠
nor the years condemn.⁠
At the going down of the sun⁠
and in the morning⁠
We will remember them.

My pilates practice was far from glamorous these holidays...... no 40 Euro studios full of influencers - it was back to basics!

One of the great things about a Pilates mat practice is that you can do it anywhere - and you don't need props (although I usually pack a few!). I was lucky enough to use Helene's reformer when we visited her family in Marseille - but most of my practice was on the mat - where ever I could find available space!

So just a reminder that Pilates doesn't always involve matching lulu sets, a reformer or fancy props.

Don't forget Pilates mat is back from this Sunday at Love Pilates Willoughby.
