life updates for anyone who cares

creating new habits...pilates and more

so now that my focus has changed from any type of aesthetic to just being as healthy as i can be... that means growing outside of weight-lifting... ive realised my body has adapted very well to weights but i need to do more core and breathing work - which also increases gains in and outside of the gym.

i remember in year 9 i used to do pilates bc i couldnt do gym and tell me why i was so much fitter back then than i am now... i did cardio (badminton, walking) and pilates like abs and bodyweight exercises and had the best posture to date.

im doing this for overall fitness. ive realised i can either make this harder for myself by creating excuses and being afraid of being bad at smth and hurting my ego.. but what hurts more in the long-term is not hurt feelings, its unfulfilled potential.

either in 3 months i can be 3 months lacking in progress, or 3 months in progress. and ik how much progress anyone can make in 3 months - look at how much i grew with my business.

and that is not only in my body but in what i can do and be in this world.

which is why im doing pilates bc im under the impression that if i can lift weights, i can do everything else with ease. but truth is, pilates is not my strongest suit which is why im working on it.

if i wanna put my body to do smth like military training, i need to get my core training on point. and that will help me in everyday life as well as posture and especially breathing. i realised i was inhaling and exhaling at the wrong time and i breathe thru my chest instead my stomach, so i need to work on that.

i feel super relaxed after doing that breath work, no matter how amateur. i feel like this relaxed usually after chamomile tea but this is before any chemical alteration - meaning its up to me how i wanna feel. i need to be a woman of many crafts. with a few in mastery. which means i dont have time to waste.

i wanna try aerial yoga, military training, dancing and martial arts

but if i can focus on pilates for three days a week for the next three months - i will see alot of tone. if im feeling the burn that means there is smth weight-lifting doesnt work. not everything is about mass. if i wanna see tone, i gotta focus on pilates and breath work 

my plan for the next three months (until 16 march 2022) is:

- Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday - FULL BODY WORKOUT

- Monday, Wednesday and Friday - PILATES

i want to incorporate regular walking but no promises yet because i wanna get this under control. i wanna get better at keeping habits.

ive successfully got sunnahs after every prayer on lock, and brushing my teeth twice a day and i ve started a full body workout 3-4 a week6
