In the
summer we are far more active. The tendency to slump in front of the television
wanes and suddenly the sitting room is almost a ‘no go’ area as we spend more
time outside and generally looking to what the world is doing.
Of course
summer time can bring a shock when we find our best linen outfit no longer fits
or we are having difficulty heaving ourselves up from a picnic blanket. So, how
did I find myself in tight-fitting dress booking a Pilates holiday?
I had
decided this inactivity wasn’t going to spell the new me. None of us has to
accept the consequences of our actions for long. Yes, of course we must take
responsibility for what we do, but what I am saying is we can change things.
Bad habits
are what happen when I don’t take care
of myself. It’s strange really because we are always downloading updates for
our tech equipment but don’t consider we might need to also do this for
ourselves. After all, we may not be Man or Woman 2.0 but it’s the only version
we are likely to be. So it is worth looking after.
Amazingly,
and let’s face it you are looking at a prize cynic, I found that just a little
foray into the world of Pilates made an enormous difference. In fact, so much
so, that I became a convert and wondered whether there was any way I might take
this new found enthusiasm and capitalise on it.
Imagine my
surprise when I discovered Pilates holidays
actually existed. I couldn’t believe my luck and quickly booked, in case I
changed my mind!
It was an
extraordinary decision to have made and let me tell you I didn’t regret it for
a single moment. I would never have believed what a week’s immersion into an
interest could do for one’s confidence, skill and general ability: I am an
evangelising convert to Pilates holidays!

“Bad habits are what happen when I don’t take care of myself” - I agree! Pilates not only helps you own a healthy body but a healthy mind as well. Doing this with friends is much more enjoyable. This is why most people enroll themselves in Pilates class because they find their fellows there, and it keeps them motivated. Thank you for sharing this!
