Pilates

I'm gonna make fifty grand less per year, but I'm gonna be happy, and I'm gonna enjoy this, and I'm gonna have some fun." Or maybe you're like, "Nah, I love yoga.

I love Pilates.

I wanna be a Pilates teacher." This allows you to do things like that and take a lower paying dream job.

But also it puts you on the path to a couple of different things.

It puts you on the path to having the ability to maybe be Barista FI, where you reduce the overall hours.

Or maybe you wanna be a guide, and you like to spend your time hiking trails and hunting or whatever else.

You could do some cool stuff like that.

Maybe you love Pilates, and so you have a passion for Pilates.

I think a lot of them are doing strength training to maintain things.

I, one of the exercises I love that men and women should do is Pilates.

I think-

You like Pilates?

I love Pilates.

Okay.

Because it's, it's core oriented.

Join me as I share the real-life insights that will help you grow a sustainable and profitable studio.

This is the Pilates Business Podcast.

Well, hey there, and welcome back to the Pilates Business Podcast.

I'm Saran, and I'm so glad you're joining me today.

I know so many of you listen in from the car between classes, or while folding towels at the studio, or maybe while finally getting a walk in after a long day.

But, um, it's Humble Lagree.

It's a Lagree studio, and it's different from Pilates.

It is a high-intensity, low-impact workout, which my sister has tried and taken.

It's crazy.

Yeah.

But there's nothing like Lagree.

I've done Pilates, I've done barre, I've done, um-

Mm-hmm.

Um, we have 12 different types of workouts, um, in two categories.

Nine of the workouts are, are some version of an isometric routine, uh, like hot yoga, hot Pilates, et cetera, and then three are, um, HIIT training.

The isometric routines are 30-minute workouts.

The HIIT, uh, training are 15-minute workouts.

You're getting more of a workout in less time in that way, right? And then you're absorbing infrared radiation that goes into your skin, up to an inch and a half, and triggers all kinds of good things happening, happening inside of your cells, inside of the mito- mitochondria, to accelerate your metabolism and, and to do things like increase your blood flow and bring more oxygen and nutrients to your entire body.

So you're definitely getting more workout in less time because of that.

Um, I think that i- beyond that, you ha- if you're going to use an, an infrared sauna as an training environment, then you also have to recognize that there are certain types of exercises that are more conducive to an environment like that, like for example, yoga, Pilates.

Anything isometric is gonna work very well inside of an infrared sauna.

So a simple week could look like 30 minutes or less of strength training two to three times a week.

It might be a couple days of yoga or Pilates or some other type of strength.

You might have movement or walking in there.

Right.

Okay, cool.

Maybe you start going to some kind of class, whether it's a yoga class, whether it's Pilates, whether it's group fitness.

Maybe hire a one-to-one trainer in the gym.

Maybe you do something that is more social if you are doing it alone right now.

And you're like, what does that mean? Like, in this sense, they say stretching lengthens the muscle, like...

You have heard countless Pilates instructors say.

And that can make it sound like we are pulling a piece of blue taco, an elastic band, and making it longer every time we stretch.

And that is just simply not the case.

Like, as long as you're still turning in for work every day and you're still getting shit done, which I was.

And I'm still going to Pilates and things.

It was just like I wasn't really going the extra mile.

And I thought... that's a dangerous thought that I actually can kind of have fun all the time because even my work like you know I'm going on to the radio I'm not saving lives like my brother-in-law's a surgeon so if he acts like a you know there are lives on the line I the only things on the line is songs for me and they're gonna keep writing themselves
