Doing anything for the first time can be daunting and uncomfortable. Especially when you are doing so in a group setting. Even though pilates is generally done by very welcoming and open people, it is still human nature to be uncomfortable in a new setting when doing new physical activities. In the age of technology, learning anything is as easy as going online.
And you can do everything in the comfort of your own home. The important factor is that you do something to better yourself in some way. Pilates is a great place to start. Whether you are new to physical activity or need a low impact workout, it can be done at home or in a group.
Find a Pilates Instructor
There is no better way to learn something than to find someone to teach you. When just starting something, it is important to learn it right the first time. It is important to learn how to do things correctly the first time because relearning something can be very difficult and being accurate in your movement is imperative right from the start in Pilates. Pilates is effective because the moves were specifically designed to maximize results with minimal effort. But the moves must be done correctly. Pilates can be tricky because the idea is to move slowly and smoothly where most physical activity requires quick and powerful movement. You can find classes to join or you could hire someone to come to your home if you are not completely comfortable in a social setting. In fact, finding a studio where you can have a private session is phenomenally beneficial if you have special circumstances like an injury.
Make Pilates Part of Your Routine
In order to get the most out of any exercise, consistency is very important. It is very easy to work out for one day but making it a part of your lifestyle requires dedication and certain changes. The biggest change that needs to be made is to add pilates to your daily routine. Making time for pilates and adding it to your routine so that it is just as important as going to work or eating lunch will make it just as important as those things. Since Pilates is so popular, you can usually find a session to do most any time of the week or if you are really strapped for time, you can do pilates at home.
Make Space For Pilates
Making space in your schedule for pilates is important but making physical space in your home to practice pilates is just as important. If you choose to practice in your own home rather than going to a studio, that is great! But if you do not have a specific place to do pilates in your home, getting it done won’t be easy or enjoyable. You should find a quiet place in your home that is free from distractions and comfortable to practice. Everything in your space from the art on the wall, to the music to the furnishings, need to be carefully considered so your space is calming and comforting. Having a place in your home that inspires you to do pilates will make doing pilates fun, enjoyable and more likely to be a permanent part of your new lifestyle.
Start Slow
Just because pilates is considered low-impact exercise does not mean it’s easy. If you do not give this practice the respect it deserves you could reduce the effectiveness or even injure yourself. Pilates is not only a physical workout but it also helps strengthen your mental and spiritual health too. Take the time to learn everything properly, work into everything slowly and do it right. If you don’t do it right, it’s not worth doing.
