How To Set A Fitness Goal

What’s your mindset when it comes to goal setting? To achieve the health and fitness you want or need, you have to have a plan. This is true for anything you want to achieve in life. “Fail to plan, plan to fail” is a well known but very accurate saying. Goals are the end point of a plan. They give you direction and awareness of the steps you need to take to get to where you want to go. So why don’t more people have solid plans and goals for their own health and fitness? Fear of failure. If you don’t set the goal, there’s no opportunity for you to fail at achieving it, right? This is not a good mindset and is usually based on past ....

Why Pilates is "Anti Aging"

It doesn’t matter what your age is in years, if you’re living on this planet, you are getting older. Our mindset about aging is going through a big transformation with more and more people not accepting the traditional idea of a decline in quality of life as we advance in years. Staying healthy, fit, active and capable of participating in all the life activities that people love to do is the “new old”. That doesn’t equate to some epic sporting performance (although it could), but it could be as simple as being able to play with the kids at the park, getting up and down from the floor, being capable of travel or going for a long walk or having ....
