I did pilates at least once a week with my mom and my instructor Ana during the first activity season. Because of a lot of tests I had to take in and out of school, I was extremely nervous and always found myself slouching, which I wanted to fix. Pilates seemingly sounds like a stretching exercise, but I realized it requires way more strength than I expected. At times, especially when we were doing core exercises, I struggled to follow the moves and wanted to give up. However, I knew that the struggle I have will help me strengthen my body so I tried my best to do what I can. I think this positivity I had towards Pilates helped me improve the movements as well as my posture bit by bit as time went by. I am excited to continue working out.
