Achieve A Dream Body And Sound Mind – Pilates London

Here at Reformer Pilates 2 U, we believe in eating breakfast, lunch and dinner to get us through our day, everyday!   It goes without saying that we all have busy lives to lead.   The stresses and emotions which run wild daily among London commuters and the rest of the nation, all the responsibilities and goals which we thrive to achieve in our personal lives can often cause us to skip meals   both conscientiously and not.   These meals are what give us the nutrition and energy we need to be successful at what we are doing and unfortunately, our bodies do not run on air and water.   Besides, food should be celebrated and enjoyed, not ignored or wasted.

You might think that skipping any of your vital 3 meals a day is a sure way to save time or keep trim but you would be wrong.

By skipping a meal you are putting on weight because the body starts to store fat as a reserve and also when you do eventually eat, you eat more that you would normally because you are so hungry.   Moreover, you are starving your brain of energy.   Have you ever felt unable to concentrate after skipping lunch because you had ‘too much to do’?   In the long run, you will end up   with a less successful outcome than you anticipated.   All in all, missing meals will wreak havoc on your life.

And yes! We have all heard the line ‘ oh well I take supplements’ but it has been scientifically proven that the pill popping you think is providing you with the vitamins and nutrients you need to keep your body working and away from disease and ill health conditions is doing the exact opposite.   After all the word supplement means ‘addition’ or ‘extra’ not ‘replacement’.

The great thing about Reformer Pilates 2 U is that we come to your home with the Reformer.   We travel to various areas around London to make your life easier whilst helping you to maintain a fit and healthy body.   Amazing or what?   So, you don’t need to worry about time, rushing to get an unfulfilling, expensive or carb heavy sandwich and you don’t need to skip your lunch or dinner because you need to get to the gym for a quick workout neither.
