IT WORKED - the reason and the result
One of my primary motivations for signing up for a Pilates membership in January was to help increase my core strength/“erector” muscles so I wouldn’t feel like I was dying at music festivals. We attend about three four day music festivals every year and every year my back/core are on fire from standing and walking and carrying a hydro pack.
Here to say: 4.5 months later and 48 classes later IT WORKED. We are at sonic temple this weekend and yesterday was day one. I went from gate open to gate close and my feet are sore (bad shoes), and weirdly my glutes but my back and core do not hurt!!!! I felt great at the end of the day yesterday and could have kept going. And I had NO ISSUES standing in the crowds for hours yesterday!
It’s the little things y’all. 🙌
Edit: end of day two, still going strong but my feeeeeet are killing me. No noticeable issues with standing again today. Did some stretching this am to limber up and that helped a LOT.
