For months. I did Pilates every day and things were improving a lot then very slowly overtime I did less and less as I was struggling with energy and not sleeping enough because of the late night working I do I now have a couple of months off work and it feels like the time to start again. What is the most basic Pilates session I can do just to get me started a nice short one.?

Hello all I’ve been doing short Pilates sessions every day for months now and I’ve definitely seen massive improvements but the past few days I’m mentally struggling and my ego is giving me shit that it’s not working. I think I just need some words of encouragement from you guys to help push me through this little plateau. I hope you’re all doing well. Keep up with your good work.

What's the plan? Is it working out? Did you have a goal coming in to this week? What was it? Be very specific. If the goal/plan was not specific, it's very unlikely to be happening. We're not far in to the week, so if you get specific now on what we're hoping to achieve to move forward, then you're very likely to nail it. I'm here to help not judge - so stick your plan for the rest of the week in the comments and lets get you to it 💪

Imagine you had just one car to last your whole life. You’d look after it pretty carefully, wouldn't you? Regular checks, never skipping a service, choosing quality fuel, and cutting out any unnecessary journeys to avoid excess wear. But what about your body? You really do have only one body for life (apart from maybe upgrading a hip or knee!), yet we often overlook the basics of taking care of it. Here's my no-nonsense breakdown on how to give your body the care it deserves: ✅ Regular Servicing Keep moving! Regular exercise and daily movement keep your joints and muscles happy and your 'engine' running smoothly. It doesn’t have to be complicated—even a short routine makes a huge difference. ✅ Quality Fuel You wouldn’t pour rubbish fuel into your prized motor, so why feed your body poorly? Good hydration and balanced, nourishing food help keep your body running at its best. Consistency over perfection every time. ✅ Cut Out Unnecessary Journeys Getting enough sleep and proper rest is like skipping needless miles. Your body needs downtime to repair, recover, and recharge. Reduce unnecessary stressors and prioritise rest—your body will thank you. ✅ Routine Check-ups Regularly checking in on your health—like your MOT—is crucial. Listen to your body’s signals; tackling minor issues early stops them becoming major breakdowns later on. You've got just one body—take good care of it, and it’ll look after you in return for the long haul. Think about the following: 😴 Sleep - duration and quality 🏋️‍ Exercise - regular cardio, strength, functional mobility/flexibility - as a minimum, hit government guideline activity levels 🚶‍ Regular movement - not exercise, but avoiding a sedentary life 🌱Nutrition (95% of the time eat a balanced diet high in protein and whole foods) don't eat 💩with regularity, don't eat to excess 💧Keep plenty hydrated enough, everyone has different needs but aim for 2.5litres of water per day 🧘‍♂️Manage stress - address factors causing stress, find time to decompress, meditation, journaling, exercise - talking. Seek further help with mental health struggles. Got to do something even if you feel helpless
