No one wants to be the new kid in class, even as a grown up. Have you ever walked into an exercise class and felt instantly intimidated by the instructor and maybe even the other people in the class? We hear ya! ... Immediately all of our insecurities are brought to light, at least in our own minds. Those little gremlins in your brain telling you that you aren’t good enough or fit enough or strong enough to be in that class. And why does it seem like everyone else in this "beginner" class has been doing this forever? Whatever the reason, that intimidation can make us want to turn right around and run out the door, never to return. We've totally been there. But you WANT to get back to an exercise routine that feels right for you, and you like the idea of a community of like-minded folks just wanting to do something good for their bodies and minds. Does this magical place even exist? Yes, my Friend, it does and we're right here for you when you are ready. And to get you ready, here are 3 ways to gain the confidence and set yourself up for success: Start with live classes online - no one even has to see you if you don't want them to. Try working one-on-one with a trusted instructor first to get acquainted with the movements, and your own body again. Invite a friend to join you in class so you have a guaranteed support system at the ready. At ReActive Movement, our #1 goal is to help you feel strong AND confident in your body with less pain and fear of reinjury.

Getting older does NOT have to mean more pain Recently, we have had a lot of discussion with our clients around aging and pain. Quarantine has everyone feeling creaky and tweaky, wouldn't you say? ... One client had been suffering from hip pain, and by the end of the session the pain was gone and she said Wow! I was so ready to just accept that this pain was going to be with me forever. I though it was just a part of getting older. Many people don’t realize that getting older does not have to mean more pain. And while aging and pain may be related, studies have not been able to directly connect the two. Most often, aches and pains are caused by some other less permanent factor. So why then do people have more aches and pains as they get older? It all has to do with LACK OF MOVEMENT. We live in a society that has fostered the idea that as we age, we have to be more cautious with our movement and activity level, and if it hurts then stop moving altogether. We are encouraged to rest more and do fewer things that might be considered risky...but that doesn't mean all movement is risky. Inevitably, if we don’t move our bodies, eventually they will lose the ability to move pain-free. Then the more we avoid movement, the faster we lose strength AND confidence. We see this every day so we get it.. When we are in pain, movement is the last thing we want to do and starting a movement practice or exercise program can be scary. So what can you do? Here are 3 easy ways to bring more movement into your life: Start small and move within your limits Buddy up - support and accountability are great motivators to keep moving Start working one-on-one with a specialized instructor or trainer that you trust At ReActive Movement, our #1 goal is to help you learn how to make the best movement choices for you, so that you feel strong AND confident every day with less pain and fear of reinjury.

Your doctor may have forgotten to mention Building confidence in your body’s ability is just as important as building core strength. Returning to movement and exercise after living with pain or injury is a daunting task, both physically and mentally. ... Sometimes even after your body is healed, your confidence is still shaken when it comes to your body’s ability to move again without reinjury. We literally lose trust in ourselves. Even after the physical pain is gone, we are often plagued by fear that we might injure ourselves again and end up right where we started- in pain. It is that fear that holds us back from moving, and getting back to activities that we enjoy. How can we return to pain-free living when we don’t even trust our own bodies? Here are just a few ways Pilates can help you find confidence in movement again: Keep moving! Work one on one with a trained movement professional to help you address your fears as you move Foster your mind-body connections to improve your overall body awareness At ReActive Movement, our Teachers help.you learn how to make the best movement choices for you, not just in class or at the gym, but every day so that you feel strong AND confident with less pain and fear of reinjury.

Being in pain often leads to poor sleep but this works the other way too. Have you ever gone to bed with a back ache and woken up feeling even worse than you did the night before? This doesn’t mean your back literally got worse overnight - this happens because lack of sleep amplifies the pain-centers in the brain, making you more sensitive to pain in general. So what can we do? ... We can move! If we move our bodies more during the day, not only will it reduce pain but it will also make you more tired, which will help you sleep better!

Forgotten your New Year’s Resolution already? Us too. Try a lifestyle change that feels right for you instead - here’s how... How many times have you set a New Resolution and gotten to February and realized that, once again, the resolutions have fallen to the wayside and you’ve returned to your normal habits. ... And yet the next year you do it all over again and expect to see different results So this year, why not do things differently? Instead of setting a goal like lose 10 pounds or go to the gym every day or start running, why not find a way to make lasting, positive change in your life? Something that feels right for you, right now, wherever you are today. Here’s a way to do just that: Pick one activity that you truly enjoy and that makes YOU feel good. Commit to doing that one thing you love just once a week, no matter what. Stick with it so that it becomes an integral part of your routine. That’s it. What could be better than putting one thing in your calendar every week that is pleasurable? Imagine how you will look forward to that one day every week when you get to do that thing. Even better, imagine not having to do that thing you don’t like that was on your Resolutions list. In a time filled with exercise-related resolutions for the new year, it is important to find ways to truly make effective and healthy changes in our bodies. Movement is a necessary part of our everyday lives. At ReActive Movement, our Teachers encourage you to think mindfully about your movement, not just in a session but also in your everyday activities so what you learn becomes a valuable part of your life.
