Joe Pilates 30 Session Challenge Complete!

May 8, 2008
 
Session: 30
 
Finally!  The results are in!

After 10 weeks of taking Pilates three times per week, I feel amazing!  I’m slimmer, trimmer, stronger, and more flexible.  It’s amazing how connected I am to my body.  I am addicted to Pilates and encourage everyone to give it a shot.  10 weeks from now you can have a whole new body!

Here are my progression pictures at 0 sessions, after 20 sessions, and finally after 30 sessions:

 I have lost a total of 11 inches- 5 of them coming off my waist!  I even gained another 1/2 inch in height!  I hadn’t anticipated the amount of change in the last 10 sessions.  Everything improved: my posture, my shoulder placement, my rear end is higher and smaller (yea!), and I have a waist again! 

 I am such a proponent of Pilates, that I have decided to become a Certified Instructor.  I will continue to share my story and help others acheive a their fittest selves.
