“I even kind of eat well 80 percent of the time and have my treats 20 percent of the time. I don't just eat salads, but I truly believe in eating healthy foods, fresh fruits and vegetables every day. I'm a real person.”
“Finding a convenient exercise routine is the key, because you're much more likely to stick with it.”
“Because there's no bouncing, jarring, or stress to your body, Pilates offers the ideal form of exercise for people who, because of joint pain or muscle weakness, shy away from exercise.”
“Helping people keeps me going.”
“In addition to firming your abdominals, Pilates also helps strengthen and stretch the entire body from head to toe, helping you to stand taller.”
“I really eat in moderation.”
“Sometimes I log more than my fair share of hours on my tush - behind my desk, in the car, in front of the TV. And all that sitting can turn even the tightest buns into rice pudding.”
“Take a tip from racewalkers and marathoners, and strengthen your stride with resistance exercises. By training your walking muscles, you'll have more power to pick up the pace.”
“Exercise is the best preventative medicine there is.”
“Banish aches and pains by strengthening and stretching the muscles that affect your back.”
“Diffusers not only leave your home smelling clean and fresh, but the oils that you choose to use in it can leave you feeling refreshed and stress free!”
“Your personal gym should be a place where you can exercise and just be yourself.”
“To do Pilates moves correctly, you'll need to concentrate on your abs - keeping them pulled in and up - at all times.”
“As you do Pilates, use your breath to draw your mind into the present and whisk the tension out of your body.”
“As a mom, I'm always balancing my life. I want to teach people the way I balance it, and really teach women how to stay fit and take care of themselves.”
“I'm well aware of the health dangers of an expanding waistline and belly fat: diabetes, heart disease, stroke, even cancer.”
“I don't believe in strict diets or starving yourself; eat three meals a day. I believe in eating a good breakfast, a good lunch and a light dinner. Eat breakfast like a king, eat lunch like a queen, and eat dinner like a pauper. Your ultimate goal is to eat all the basic food groups in those three different meals.”
“In other fitness pursuits, you may have learned to go through the motions first and perfect your form second. In Pilates, it's the other way around. You learn to control your abs first and then proceed through a series of more progressive movements. At all times, you should feel in control of your body.”
“Most of us tend toward muscular imbalance. Typically our chest and front shoulder muscles are stronger than our upper back and rear shoulder muscles. As a result, our chins jut out, our shoulders round, and our backs sway.”
“I don't starve myself, and I don't think other people should either.”
