Time for Wellness in Jacksonville?

EXERCISE.
It might be your favorite New Year's resolution, the thing you dread the most, the best moments of your life, or the one experience that makes your body hurt from your head to your toes. Exercise should be a part of any person's daily routine. It increases your life span, keeps your heart healthy, helps you stay at a healthy body mass index, and enhances your mood. Exercise should not, however, be an intimidating word. You can burn calories just by walking 10 minutes a day, riding a bike around your neighborhood, cleaning your house, laughing really hard, or I suppose, chasing after run away fraternity and sorority members.

In all seriousness, I know we all have busy lives and exercise is often the first thing to go. Pilates is an exercise that I am particularly drawn to. It is a rehabilitative mix of yoga, ballet, bar, and core work. It focuses on flexibility, precision, strength, and mind/ body connection through muscle control. It has been touted as a best practice in exercise for some of the world’s best athletes, the elderly, persons surviving physical trauma, dancers, and CEO’s…And now Pilates is coming to YOU! During this year’s Annual Meeting I will be leading morning fitness regimes. Our commitment to care for your physical wellness is conceptualized in the fact that we are offering two Pilates classes and one walking trip this year.
