What if you were ill or injured and therefore pushing yourself to complete the sessions isn’t the best option? I’ve been injured, and unwell, the last couple of weeks, so been forced to give Pilates a miss. I thought I had time to catch up with missed sessions when fully recovered. It’s a bit demotivating if that’s not possible.
(Sorry if that sounds a negative viewpoint, just me feeling grumpy for not being able to get my Pilates fix 😞)

Liz (Pilates for Runners) Hi Liz, my injury is a long standing non-running one. My right sacroiliac joint was damaged during a difficult delivery some 40 odd years ago. It only bothers me from time to time (I see a chiropractor when needed, as I did last week) but when it plays up it makes my right leg weak and sometimes there's numbness in my lower leg. It came on this time immediately after the last 10 minute foot, calf and ankle session I did. I'm sure that session in itself wouldn't have been to blame, but it came after a very heavy week of running, and possibly it was the cumulative effect of all this which caused the problem. I've also picked up a virus so I'm having a break from both running and Pilates at the moment. Thanks for your offer of recommending sessions that I could still do, I'd be grateful if you would, and perhaps also advise if there are any that should be avoided altogether. Many thanks x 🙂
