Dying. 🤣

The vibration plate…. Maybe it’s a fad or gadget or dumb. But it has some definite benefits and some theoretical ones too.

Potential benefits/relief for lymphedema, fibromyalgia, osteopenia/osteoporosis. You can do this standing “still” or there are exercises you can do while trying to balance on this “crazy thing”. I’ve been trying out different settings and different movements for the last few weeks on it. Available to any client who wants to end their session with 10 minutes (as that is the recommended and preprogrammed time) being gently shaken, not stirred.

(My b***s, belly and butt shake and it makes me laugh, which makes them shake more. Good times here at Bia Fit!)

A little short box work on a Sunday morning.
My focus on this exercise, this rep, for THIS client was to get the fleshy part of her b***y out of the way so her lumbar spine flexes. I work with and for the body that is in front of me. I don’t nit pick and make you look like the pictures in my textbooks. Why?! Because my clients are not 5’2” 100 pound former ballerinas. They’re not going to look like that. I am not going to look like that. I cue muscles and movement. And no, I do not correct every single thing on every single rep. Why? Because good lord, I like to let my clients MOVE THEIR BODIES.
That is all. Enjoy your day!

A plank is not just holding everything off the ground. A plank involves every muscle group in your body. Strong stable shoulders. Deep, strong abdominal connection. Contraction of the glutes and adduction of the inner thighs, while also reaching through your heels and lengthening out through the top of your head.

When doing a plank you should not be able to be pushed over. You’re one solid piece. Immovable. Strong foundation.

Good metaphor for life.

Chest press on an elevated surface makes them easier. Unless that elevated surface is a set of suspension straps. That adds a whole lateral stability challenge, works your inner thighs, glutes and obliques more and forces the deep stabilizers to come to the party too. Take one foot off the floor?! Ooof! But if you put that leg in a third suspension strap the diagonal lines in your body really start to connect! Love some Bodhi work!!!

No pilates post today peeps. My baby is graduating and I’m an emotional mess. Basically a human leaky faucet.

I love unilateral work.
I love contralateral work.
Making sure both sides of your body can do the same thing at the same time when called upon.
Everyone has a dominant side. Pilates and unilateral work, can help the difference between your dominant and nondominant sides be less.

Over 15+ years I have been kicked, hit, scratched. It’s MY fault. Even if the client didn’t pay a lick of attention to my cue, it’s my job to anticipate all the ways it can go wrong. I’ve laughed and recovered and moved on to the next thing.

Most of my workouts are not pretty. I don’t look cute. I am not smiling. I’m concentrating. I’m not super skinny and toned. I having quiet conversations with different body parts about what does and does not work in that moment, for that exercise.
They’re not what the algorithm wants.
I’m not trying to be an influencer. I’m being real.
If you’re looking for a cute pilates girlie, keep scrolling. If you’re looking for a studio and teacher who has knowledge, experience and a south Jersey attitude here in central Virginia, I’m it.

Frog Back on the chair is one of my favorite exercises. It’s an extremely challenging exercise, but one that really teaches glute isolation. My back body and core are working so hard to keep me lifted off the chair, but my glutes have to work even harder to extend a little further and press the pedal down. So hard. But soooo good.

Another, this wasn’t supposed to be a post. Why? Because it’s not perfect. But you know what? I don’t care. I am not perfect. I’m shakey, my form is meh. I’ve got a layer of fluff around my midsection.
What you see here is a post menopausal woman, who is strong, but EXHAUSTED.
Tired. All. The. Time.
My body isn’t recovering the way I am used to. More often than not I am on the proverbial struggle bus.
But I show up.
So enjoy the unfiltered, not perfect, real me.
