Consistency—FINALLY

Consistency, particularly the necessity for it, was my catalyst for beginning Lindywell. I struggled for many of my grownup life to stay with my exercises. (You is likely to be acquainted with this!) The beginning-and-stop behavior as my motivation ebbed and flowed was irritating—I needed to be in keeping with exercises for my thoughts and physique, however I simply couldn’t grind by way of these long and hard classes again and again.
And understandably so, as I can see now that I used to be making an attempt to power my physique to do one thing it didn’t wish to do. Some days I used to be craving gentle and straightforward, different days I needed to push somewhat tougher. That is pure (particularly for these of us girls with a cycle) and extra supportive of the thoughts and physique.
After I found Pilates, started to take heed to my physique and reframed my mindset round train to decide on grace over guilt, I skilled an unbelievable transformation.
I created Lindywell to assist extra individuals expertise the identical factor.
