Pilates with Amanda

We made lava cake for breakfast and it’s a win! 1/3 cup Greek yogurt, one egg, 3 tbsp cocoa powder, some honey, chocolate chips and marshmallows in the microwave for 1 min and 30 seconds. You get a nutritious and delicious meal! Kids love it. Mother approved. ✅ we all made it together so they like it even more.

Raise your hand 🙋‍♀️ if this bothers you as much as it bothers me...I can’t tell you how much this makes my skin crawl! Being sore isn’t always a good thing. When it hurts to lift your arms or sit on a toilet, does that seem healthy? I dunno about you, but exercise should be invigorating and make you feel strong but capable of doing more. It shouldn’t make you feel like you need a week to recover. You should feel stronger but more flexible! Not less! So many people think working out is about more weight, more speed, more this, more that. But what about doing your workout with intention and control? what about stretching as much as you strengthen? did you ever think that when you strengthen your muscles, they get shorter and tighter. They need to lengthen too. HELLO PILATES! it does both at once. No wonder you don’t leave feeling crippled. You got stronger and more flexible in one hour and didn’t even realize it. your muscles 💪🏻 get tighter to the bone. your energy is increased. your actually able to do pilates daily cus it’s not meant to KILL you. It’s meant to be functional. It’s meant to make you better in all aspects. In all workouts. It’s meant to make you more efficient and more connected to your center. Soreness does not equate to better. I want to feel like I’ve done something but that I can still do more. That’s how exercise should be! .
