I'd call this post: "What I would tell to my "3months ago" Self"

Up until this year, I think I have never tested my body more. Controversially, I have never felt better!!!!

In-short:

I have tried

Barre Classes,
Reformed Pilates,
HIIT Mat Pilates classes,
Stregth Pilates Classes on a reformer and on a mat with ankle weights & hand weights. Both beginner - but rather quickly I switched to Intermidiate.

I would say, from those - my fav ones were

🤍HIIT mat pilates classes🤍 with a gay instructor in Thailand, he was so bougie, fun, and strict, but at the same time played Ariana Grande and some other gay music stuff in the background. GOD IT WAS SO FUN hihi!! I can still hear "Nails, Hair, Hips, Heels, Purse full big beels" hihiiiiii🤭🤭🤭🤭
🤍Barre Classes🤍 (again with a gay instructor - well thats fun haha! I just realized!) but I lost 1 KILO the next day, completely SOAKED during the class, happy, energized, and with stronger legs after - I WAS COMING BACK many times after hihi!
🤍Strength Pilates (30-45min) with ankle weights🤍 [while I'm here in Russia]. This is something that I ABSOLUTELY fell in love with as it snatches you already after a 2nd training! So super fast!!!

The main thing that I have noticed in myself that helped me become WAY much more active, craving for another run, another 10k steps on top of my daily goal, craving for additional 10min walk after food, or for keeping myself super disciiloned - its an IDENTITY SWITCH⋅˚₊‧ ୨୧ ‧₊˚ ⋅

The same way we DECIDE to be feminine, soft, or elegant, maybe a bit more reserved, or calm and grounded - its the same way we DECIDE to be in our masculine when needed (work, business).

AND THE SAME WAY we decide to become Roman or Greek goddesses, VITAL, FULL OF LIFE & vibrancy & energy. And all of a sudden we HAVE all the energy to run, dance, move sensually, run, and walk, and stretch, and crrrravveee that royal vibrancy, those rosy cheeks, that glowy and sweaty skin, that out of breath feeling after a run when you are gulping for a fresh air - feeling all the blood boilinv in your veins. After a hike, after a run. God I love it.

From now on you BELONG TO A CULTURE of great roman bodies sculptured by gods, you belong to an energy that unites all healthy people who hype up each other all over the world. We all travel, we are all in different cities and on different continents, but united with the frequency. Keep that red string theory close to yourself, feel it, associate yourself with it. You can do it. I believe in you!!!💓
