Pilates and Holiday Season

My Pilates instructor was cracking a joke about how Christmas is barely two months from now and that this is also the most difficult time for many people to lose weight.

Back to Pilates Mat

Some people have the habit of indulging in all kinds of foods after a workout but this may not be the best decision. I do agree that you should allow some flexibility once in [...]
