Pilates with Michelle is on it's final rebranding phase to "Forever Athlete". I am super pumped about this shift. I've been working really hard over the last few years trying to own into what I feel called to do and after watching my dad these last few years with my mom and how he walked with my mom through her passing, I knew I wanted to get out and be the voice of movement in a powerful way. You see, at the young age of 83, my dad was able to continue to golf when he could and still work with my mom. Move her from room to room, do all things caretakers do and still work to try and keep some equilibrium in his world. In fact, he is 84 and is out on the slopes as I write this, skiing for the first time since my mom got really sick. 84. He still skis, golfs, and so much more like climbing ladders and all the things. He's a powerhouse of movement. He has said since I can remember, use it or you lose it. I've kept that mantra and am basing my brand on him. We can all be a Forever Athlete, if we want. We just have to decide.
How does that fit in with Pilates? I believe Pilates at it's core is about the method of movement. I believe the magic lies in the principles of Pilates like breath and centering and control. When we move with purposeful movement EVERYTHING we do becomes better and "easier" to do for LONGER. Meaning we get to golf longer, play pickleball longer, hike longer, row longer, do LIFE on our own terms longer.
Strength is imperative to this process of gaining the ability to do life on our own terms. Yes, I believe strength is a part of the Pilates method, however, it's not typically a strength training regimen. So, with my background in Exercise Science and personal training, I'm headed into a new certification called Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist and will be adding in more strength training workouts focusing on dumbbell and barbell work.
