  • Sleep * beach * BBQ * repeat Lockdown has definitely been challenging in many ways but one thing i have loved is not rushing around so much and the lazier start to the day. I have totally loved it but, I’ve been waaaayyyy less productive. So tomorrow I’m going to re introduce my morning routine. Which is: * 4.45am wake up * 5.00am 20 mins movement * 5.20am 20 mins journal / meditation * 5.40am 20 mins goal setting / study / read I find this routine really helps lead to a way more productive day. If you want to find out more I’d recommend the book by Robin Sharma called The 5am Club. I’m putting it here so I’m held accountable... when that alarm goes off at 4.45am it’s very tempting to turn it off... especially after such a long time off!! However as soon as that first hour has passed you literally feel amazing so it’s so worth it. Any one in? 😉✌🏽 // #the5amclub #newweeknewgoals

  • Today, i had a very quick blast on the reformer.... i practiced my high frogs (swipe to see snaps or what i mean 👈🏽)...If any of you have tried these, you will know they require some serious practice, a whole lot of lift, a lot of wrap and a scattering of ‘let’s just hope for the best today’ 🥴... i was pleasantly surprised. After soooooo long away from the reformer i managed about 8 high frogs with not too much stress! (Go me!) I actually felt really really strong. I used my Pilates basics. Like the stuff i teach my beginners on day 1. * reach your tailbone * lift your abs * wrap your gluts * reach reach reach That’s all i did. And voila... i was up! Magic!! If you strip it back that’s all this really is. I’m a ‘how to move efficiently teacher’. It’s practicing those connections in your body and trying different movement (whatever your movement choice might be) and seeing if by doing that chosen movement you can maintain your fundamentals. Keep your reach. Your lift. Your wrap.... etc so you can, lift heavier, run faster, reach your punch further in boxing, balance better in yoga, carry your toddler more efficiently.... the list goes on. Having taught and practiced the fundamental basics of Pilates A LOT during lockdown. (I find i explain the basics a lot more deeply in online sessions) these basics have helped me perform this really advanced Pilates exercise with little practice and relative amount of grace! So my point..... above all practice the basics. It doesn’t matter how advanced you get at something. Those basics are SO important. There’s a reason they are taught first.... they are the most important and they are the very core of the method! So... keep reaching, wrapping and lifting gang. And... I’ll see you here (in real life) very soon 🍑 🔥 ✨ // #pilatesintructor #classicalpilates #iamasweatybetty #teamgratz #brightonpilates #highfrog #reformerpilates #studiopilates #brightonfitness #pilatesstrong @sweatybetty @gratz_pilates

  • A highlight real of yesterday’s play on the tower - i did 20 mins using just the roll back bar 💫 (Not in workout gear as i wasn’t planning this one) — 1️⃣ foot work - i did 10 of each (toes, arches, heels) 🔥 ~ only videoed 2 of each to show you. 2️⃣ rolling in and out - with preps first (see video) - this was AMAZING on my tight lower back 🥰 3️⃣ the ab series with the roll back bar.... this is SO hard 🥵 4️⃣ the swan with roll back bar... this stretch is UNREAL and feels SO good after loads of computer work 🦢 ——— I’ve been having a play and have some gorgeous workouts to teach you all... now i just can’t wait to get you in the studio with me 🎈 // #classicalpilates #pilatesgirl #pilatesteacher #feelgoodvibes #pilatestower #teamgratz #standingfootwork #brightonpilates #pilateslove #pilatesstudio #brightonfitness

  • Zoom life 💫 What a funny old world we’re living in. This is the new normal now, logging in and seeing happy faces back at me; without it i don’t know what I’d do. A sense of routine and a (kind of) slice of normal. Thank you guys for your support, it really means so much! Whilst lockdown has taught many of us, really we can do so much online (and what a fantastically magical tool it is, which i for one need to utilise more) ~ it really is nothing like the real thing. Whilst a lot more will be going online from me from now on i still cannot wait to work with live bodies in front of me. I mean that’s why we teach fitness right? For that connection with clients and seeing their progress in front of your real eyes and not behind a screen! This is me this morning being banished to the dining room as the toddler was asleep and we didn’t want to wake her 🤦🏻‍♀️ I can’t wait for some slice of ‘normal’ back! — I will be posting updates here as they release various phases. The private studio will be open first. You’ll be the first to know right here when it does so keep your eyes peeled 💛 — Sending lots of love and healthy vibes 👏🏼 // #brightonpilates #brightonfitness #onlinepilates #lovepilates #pilatesgirl #feelgoodvibes #classicalpilates #pilateseducation #pilatesteacher #pilatesmat
