Are you up for a challenge?
Do you ever wonder how time passes so quickly? I was chatting with a client last week and we were talking about how she had been practicing Pilates with me at the studio for over 14 years!!
It made me reflect on how cool it is that I have had the opportunity to be a part of so many of my clients journeys as they age. What an honor to get to see the habits and keys of what keeps people happy, healthy and moving through life well into their 60’s, 70’s, 80’s and beyond.
There are 2 lessons or key ideas that I have taken from my experiences that I try to incorporate into my own life always and I want to share them with you today.
- This one I like to call “keep moving consistently”! Clients who age well have made a point to consistently keep moving, no matter what. They have a consistent movement routine in their life and they have no plan of ever stopping! They have learned that movement is important and they make it a priority to keep moving! They keep moving even if they don’t really feel like it. They keep moving even when something is uncomfortable in their body (they simply adjust their movements for how their body is feeling and do what they can..) In case you are wondering…yes, many of them are practicing Pilates but they are also staying active in other ways in their life too.. Walking, biking, hiking, gardening, pickleball, golf and lots of other activities they enjoy!
- The second habit is simply a “positive mindset around movement”. These clients have learned to be grateful for what a movement practice does for them. They have figured out that dreading exercise is not helping them. They look for ways to move their body, they look forward to their exercise time and they often talk about how much they know that their movement practices improve their life! They are purposeful about how they think about their movement time!
