Last week I spent a lot
of time on my feet. I don’t have a desk
job, but I certainly was standing more than usual. And, for bonus points, my new grand-dog came
to visit and he has LOTS of energy. What
saved my butt (and my tired back!)????
Pilates.
In the short-term sense,
Pilates helped me stretch out the stiff places and get some movement back into the
stuck and sore spots. Pilates is the
right kind of movement for when we don’t much feel like moving because it
really does make us feel better when we get started.
More importantly, Pilates
helps me in the long-term sense. I
recognize it when my posture gets wonky.
I feel it when my spine needs to lengthen or my core control slips. Even better, Pilates lets me fix those
things, whether I drag my reluctant body out to the studio and the equipment or
just take a second or two to realign right where I am.
Thanks, Uncle Joe!
