71 MAY 2018 With so many available options when it comes to exercise, there is very little excuse not to workout. As anyone who has found their "tness true love" will reveal, the real secret is doing something you enjoy so that exercise doesn't feel like a chore. If you just laughed at that, fear not! It just means you haven't found your thing yet! Pilates,created by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th century, is a form of exercise that many people have heard of but may not have tried. And honestly there is no good reason for that. Pilates is for everyone—old, young, and every age in between. At Oxygen Mind + Body Pilates in Andover, founder and studio manager Amy Cieslik and her team meet every client where they are, regardless of tness level. ose familiar with Pilates will know that there are two types: mat Pilates, which takes place in a studio setting on a mat and reformer Pilates, which uses the reformer equipment many people envision when they think of Pilates, as well as pulleys, straps, strings, and more. "[While] many people initially gravitate toward one or the other," says Cieslik, "ideally we recommend that students utilize the Pilates system as a whole [to reap the full benets]." When Cieslik says that Pilates is for everyone, she means Cieslik and her team work with clients to ensure they get the most out of every class. comak bros. landscape design & construction peabody 978.535.1227 www.comakbros.com Since 1978 we have been creating outdoor living areas where the attention to detail goes beyond the clients' expectations.
