Tracy and her husband, Tim
"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord..." (Colossians 3:23) Does "whatever you do" mean caring for our bodies that God has given us? Absolutely! We only have one body - and that's all we're going to get while we're here on earth, so it's up to us to keep it in good working order and be the BEST we can be! At 51, I've been teaching Pilates for six years now, and my only regret is that I wish I had started it when I was in my 20's! Pilates is a form of exercise that focuses on balance, flexibility and building core strength. The misconception that exists is that the core of your body is just abdominal muscles, but the core actually encompasses the parts of your body (front and back) from your shoulders all the way to the bottom of your bum, as my British friends refer to it. If your core - think trunk of a tree - is strong and healthy, then everyday tasks as well as physically taxing activities will be much easier. In addition to classical Pilates work, we also use light hand weights, bands and stability balls in our Pilates classes to keep it interesting. One of the best parts about participating in a Pilates class is that it's really easy for each person to truly work at her own level. I lead classes at Edwards Road Baptist Church on Monday and Thursday mornings from 8:15-9:00. All ladies are welcome and the cost is $15 month. You can try out the first two classes for FREE. We laugh, share and have fun together as we "work at it with all our hearts" to be the BEST God wants us to be! Come join us and see for yourself...
