Inspiration of the Month Patti Lounsbury
 When did you start Pilates and what inspired you to start?My first Pilates session was July 11, 2014. My sister, Susan Frye inspired me to start. She has practiced Pilates for years and highly recommended it to me for my lower back pain. How often do you practice Pilates and what type of sessions or classes have you been doing?
I have been doing semi-private Pilates sessions once weekly. I try to implement principles of Pilates every day during whatever I am doing.
What benefits or improvements have you noticed in your body and life from doing Pilates?
1. Better posture: I hadn’t noticed this until others had pointed it out to me. And now I think about it much more often and implement better posture in walking and sitting.
2. Significantly less lumbar pain: This is great for me because lower back pain has been a problem for many, many years. Do you have a favorite exercise or piece of equipment (or both)?
I love the cat, anything that involves the back (which many exercises do); I like all of the exercises involving the foam roller. I really cannot think of anything that I don’t like. What would you say to someone who is thinking about doing Pilates?
I would definitely recommend it. I really don’t believe it can hurt. Carey is a superb instructor and very careful about proceeding with exercises.
