Pilates is amazing bc you are exercising while laying down but pilates studios are expensive BUT move with Nicole is free. Her hypnotically soothing voice and picturesque settings will get you through any of the workouts. I like to pick something from the beginners playlist after a long day of sitting hunched over my computer sending little emails

As someone who avoids most if not all physical exercise her pilates exercises are so good. I do them when im in the mood and usually go for the 20-30 minute (i just finished this one) workouts which go by fast but still feel challenging in a great way. And then when my abs feel sore the next day its like ok am i a bad bitch or what

It’s my favorite thing to do each morning everytime I do Pilates I feel so motivated and happy during the day I always do 3/4 times a week and it’s so good less Cortisol , release of happy hormones and more benefits and also movement is so good for the brain lately I’m so obsessed with neuroscience sooo good
It could be just for 8 mn or 15 mn max heres my favorite instructors :
- tasha franken
- move with Nicole

I unsubscribed for a while because my puppy was attacking me every time I would exercise so I resigned myself to a sedentary lifestyle but I think soon it will be time to get back on the horse. She offers Pilates, barr, yoga, standing counter workouts, pre/peri/postnatal workouts and dance workouts from herself and several other instructors. There are a lot of videos that use resistance bands, Pilates balls, Pilates circles and ankle/wrist weights too. Try the linked video to get a feel for her style!! Before I signed up for her membership I would just do her free videos on YouTube! I should do this workout right now honestly… 🤧 (edit I did it and it’s crazy how different I feel) I love her because she doesn’t talk about the visual results her workouts will help you achieve but about how good it feels to exercise for your mental and physical health!!! She offers meditations too!
I would also recommend 30-day yoga challenges from Yoga with Adriene or Travis Eliot both will really whip you into shape and help you build foundational strength.
I recommend Ballet Beautiful with Mary Helen Bowers if you hate yourself and want a cold waspish ballerina to punish you humble you and nearly kill you. It’s extremely challenging but rewarding.

I’ve done this every time I’ve found myself between full time jobs and it really makes the whole time better. You have a little money coming in and you can collect material for your future memoir. Some odd jobs from my past:
Axe throwing coach
Closet designer
Lunch catering delivery
Balloon bouquet maker
Background extra
i found them on big job boards like indeed and also Craigslist (Searching “part time” gets you less garbage results). If you hate it after you start you can just quit!
Also if you like pets, signing up for dog walking or petsitting will keep you active and you get to hang out with pets.

I love doing this, it’s wonderfully disorienting. Theres still so much day left afterwards it’s basically a whole new day, like an optical illusion, but of time.
