Pre-COVID (instead of B.C & A.D can we refer to time as pre-covid post-covid? Jk) I had my routine I 👏🏼 SWORE 👏🏼 BY
💭 gym stairs as cardio and can only sweat with this method (ONLY run on the treadmill once or twice a week)
💭 biased towards reformer because it works the best (lolol)
💭 these are the 5 mat exercises I do (out of an extensive repertoire available)
🧠 ...pls shut up!
🧍🏻♀️...body knows best!
Let me tell ya 💁🏻♀️ I am sweatinnnnnn in my mat class (once upon a time I didn’t think I could).
My cardio has GOTTEN BETTER because of it; I’m accessing my diaphragm in a more effective way. So when I run 🏃🏻♀️ I can breath without feeling like the world is ending 🤯
My reformer work is also SO MUCH BETTER because I now TRULY understand how my BODY is all the resistance I need. However if I want a different sensation, the reformer is available for me.
I believe, if we weren’t so quick to judge the sensations of our body, we would be more inclined to understand our bodies intuitively and thus strengthen from the ✨inside out ✨ without NEEDING external machines & props. That requires likinggg being in your body. Connecting mind*body*breath.
Machines & props are great ACCESSORIES but the main ~instrument~ is YOU.
