I have always understood the health and mental well being that comes with being an active person. If I went for a week without doing anything sporting that raised my heart rate and made me sweat, I could feel the lethargy and depression setting in. Over a year ago, my exercise regime included kickboxing and weight lifting and I felt on top of the world.
Then I had to undergo two emergency surgeries which put an end to my active life. It was a crushing feeling, not being able to move my body easily and feeling bloated and helpless. I saw the weight pile on, I was in pain for most of the time and my self-esteem plummeted. My recovery was taking so long that I lost hope of ever feeling good about myself.
I approached Luz to help me manage the back pain I was experiencing after my surgery. Through her brand of pilates, experience and knowledge, we were able to reduce the pain within two weeks. I also found my confidence was coming back because I was moving my body again. As the sessions went on, I started to see a change in my body shape and weight. It’s been 3 months since I started working with Luz, and now I can confidently say my back pain is gone and I’ve regained tone in my body that I had lost after the surgeries. Yes, I ‘m feeling on top of the world again.
Luz has also helped me understand the importance of being fit to help the body recover. If I had not been an active person before the surgeries, I would not have bounced back as easily and as fast. I may not be able to go back to kickboxing or weightlifting, but Luz has taught me other ways to stay fit, in shape and feeling great!
