Tapping in for day 2 of 30 day challenge ( https://members.ruthpilatesstudio.com/programs/collection-zmwn9b-2aoa )

This is what I asked for !! 🥵 sweatpants on the ground by my feet. Had to open a window to let in the cold air. F yes 🧊🤩🤩🤩 I think this challenge might make me appreciate the cold more to cool off?? Idk but so happy lol

I completed the hard+soft challenge yesterday and I’m feeling so strong and proud of myself 🥳 not only did I complete the challenge, but I also made it my own taking additional rest and swapping classes when I needed/wanted to without guilt and this means just as much to me if not more than the fact that I completed it 🥹

I decided to treat my self to a bala beam for Black Friday because I’ve been wanting one for so long but have been holding off because realistically I couldn’t use weights that heavy - but for the first time I feel strong enough that I could actually use one which is blowing my mind 😭

As an additional anecdote - I was trying to decide which weight beam to buy and I mentioned it to my partner Ben. He’s super into weightlifting and has a whole home gym set up. We’ve worked out together before in the past, but with my hypermobility and other health issues RPS is just a better fit for me than the more rigid lifting programs he follows so we sort of do our own things now and it works for us. But he has a 15lb curl bar and brought it in fo me to try so I could see if the 15 or 25 lb bala beam would be better for me. He sort of tongue in cheek said “see how many curls you can do with this one, I’ll contribute $3 to your bala beam for every curl you get past ten” … yall I hit 20 which is insane (I used to not even be able to do one without elbow pain) and I got $30 off my bala beam plus the joy of realizing how much I’ve Improved from seeing the shock on his face 🤣🤣I believe his exact words were “holy sh*t you’ve gotten strong that’s amazing” and I almost cried on the spot I was so proud of myself 😅 I’ve decided to get the 25lb bar to grow into, because I have a bunch of lighter weights already and I really believe I can get there 🦋💜

Hi Everyone!

I am starting the OG 30 day challenge (linked below) and wanted to invite anyone interested to join me!

I’ve done it once before, I will say that it’s a spicy challenge, a lot of shake level classes that feel cardio-based. Inner warmth is what I’m looking for during this cold season, just did day 1 and have come so far since I did this 2 years ago! 😍

My why: it’s bone-chilling cold where I live on the Northern CA coastline, and my Los Angeles-bred self is struggling. I already move a lot, but have been doing so even more lately to stay warm lol. Since leaving LA 10 years ago, I’ve dealt with winter blues that exercise endorphins help tremendously, and having a program lets my executive functioning relax. Lastly, I have some goals I’m aiming to hit by end of year and this routine should help with that!

Hope everyone is staying warm!! Comment if you’re interested in being buddies along the way :) any bit of effort counts 💗

Curious to hear people’s thoughts on losing motivation to workout. Over a month ago I took a few days off and haven’t returned after a decade of dedicated movement practice.

When I think about going back to working out in a structured way, even with our lovely Ruth, I internally groan and feel a ton of resistance.

How have others overcome this? I miss this part of my life and want to feel excited about it again!

Finished my lift for the day. Now to get extra work done and maybe get some Pilates in 👀🥳
