Later is a lie. "Later" is a lie we tell ourselves to feel better. ... "Later" is stated out of fear, never necessity. "Later" actually means "never" in regard to reaching fitness goals. It temporarily lets us off the hook without admitting we're giving up our dreams. We can EASILY convince ourselves that timing, circumstances, and the demands of daily life are legitimate excuses. But they aren't. Ever. Life is chaotic and busy. It seems like too much too often -- like you just can't start or focus or grow in the right direction. Fear, uncertainty, and self-doubt weigh us down, so we turn - again and again - to "later." Which becomes "never." Enough! Break the cycle with these two insights. 1. Realize that you are NOT unique. Neither are your problems or circumstances or feelings. Millions and millions of other people have navigated what you're going through. If they can do it, so can you. 2. You are personally responsible for where you are now and where you will be in 90 days and for the rest of your life. Stop saying later - and seize the moment to take one little step toward doing what you need to do. Do it right now. And do it again tomorrow. And every day. Life is too short for "later." Embrace the power of "right here, right now." And if you need some help taking that first step, we're here for you! Simply message us or give us a call at 476-0352 to schedule your FREE Wellness Consultation and Studio Tour. Spaces are limited, so don't delay. Sincerely, Debbie Ross Bisignano P.S. At Ross Pilates and Conditioning we help women and men over 35 to feel stronger, healthier and be able to do the things they love - without fear of injury or judgement!

Do your words match your actions? I can't tell you how many times people say they want to get healthy, to exercise regularly, to eat better... and then they literally behave in every way possible that's the opposite. And mostly, it's because of the stories they tell themselves. Stories like....... - "I'm too busy." - "I can't afford it." - "I'm not fit enough to exercise." - "People will laugh at me." We usually call these "excuses," and you can believe them IF YOU WANT TO. But if you want to be a real doer instead of just a dreamer, then here's what I suggest: - Get clear on what you want and how to get it. - Take the first step, without worrying about the second. (Call it a "leap of faith.") - Feel the fear and work through it anyway. - Feel the power and the pleasure and the SHEER JOY of growth. Love yourself enough to do what you say you're going to do. And if you need some help taking that first step, we're here for you! Simply message us or give us a call at 476-0352 to schedule your FREE Wellness Consultation and Studio Tour. Spaces are limited, so don't delay. Here's to the first step, Debbie Ross Bisignano P.S.

It ain't all sunshine - and that's OK Do you sometimes feel like you always have to have a smile on your face despite how you're really feeling on the inside? Many of us do.... We're asked how we're feeling and feel pressure to say we're doing great when at times we really aren't. See, the problem isn't that we feel bad sometimes. The problem comes when we say we "shouldn't" feel bad ever - even when we really should. Somehow, we've been taught to expect that everything should go our way all the time. Like any expectation, it just sets us up for disappointments rather than accepting that life's a mixed bag for everybody. Or maybe we don't want to seem like we're complaining or feeling sorry for ourselves, so we put on a good face but feel like a phony inside. When you feel an unwanted emotion, you don't have to be scared of it or try to force yourself to feel better. You could just say, "Hmm... I'm feeling anxious. (Or blue, or annoyed...) OK. I see." It'll probably pass on its own, like the image of a balloon floating across a movie screen. I say allow yourself to feel it, let it wash over you, (and yes it's okay to cry), but don't live there. Accept that it's all part of being human. It's all part of life. And it always helps to reach out to someone who will listen with care and compassion. We're here for you if you ever need a shoulder to lean on. :) Sincerely, Debbie Ross Bisignano P.S.

Are you feeling anxious? I wanted to talk about a sadly prevalent topic in the world today - anxiety - and help you understand the cause. I'm not a doctor, therapist or psychologist, but I do think I've got some valuable insight to share.... You see, depression and anxiety are similar but entirely different at the same time. Depression often occurs with feelings of hopelessness, but it's based on past experiences. Anxiety, on the other hand, is rooted in fear of what's to come in the future. It's no wonder that anxiety is through the roof during a global pandemic, as we have less certainty than we are used to having. If you really dig deep, you can begin to work through your anxiety by managing your thoughts. When you feel anxious, notice the thought running through your head. It's your thoughts that give you certain feelings, for better or worse. And you can bring consciousness to the thoughts that lead you to experience negative emotions and actually begin to change those thoughts, which in turn totally changes how you feel. It's pretty amazing! So, if you're feeling anxious and the thought around it is how you're going to figure out homeschooling your kids and managing work during a pandemic, you can change that thought to something that serves you like.... I've come this far in life, and even though it doesn't seem like it now this could be an opportunity for growth and clarity. Same situation, but you're attributing different thoughts. If you would, comment below and let me know how this sits with you. I'm so looking forward to hearing! Sincerely, Debbie Ross Bisignano P.S.

Pilates is a safe and effective exercise for those with Osteoporosis or Osteopenia (with the proper modifications). Our Buff Bones classes are designed to Strengthen Bones, Build Bone Density, Improve Posture, Balance, Flexibility and Core Strength while promoting Healthy Functional Movement. https://thecore.balancedbody.com/osteoporosis-now-what-par/

Do you want this? Why do we feel like we have to choose? Between the successful career and an amazing family life?... Between taking care of our health and time with kids or grandkids? Between doing the things we love and fulfilling our obligations? What if we could actually have it all? The great family life, career, health & fitness, freedom.... Because it is possible. Most people just don't believe it is. Life can be about.... Having health AND success. Having family AND self-care. We've got to get out of the mindset that we can't have it all so you can actually begin to allow it into your life. You know those families you look at and wonder how the parents seem so "together" and happy all of the time? Or the person who has a successful career and makes time for fitness 2 or 3 times a week? It's because they've decided that they want it all....and they've created it. No matter where you are in your life right now, you can decide you're going to have it all too. Then, it's a matter of taking the steps to create it. It's as simple as that. So, my friend..... What have you been deeply desiring but afraid to let in? What would make life as sweet as you deserve it to be that you might have thought you just weren't meant for? If you'd dm and share with me, I'd love to support you in creating it. Here's to a new mindset, Debbie Ross Bisignano P.S. If you're at that place where you want to truly change the quality of your life and start prioritizing your health and fitness grab our New Client Private Intro Offer (includes 3 Private Sessions for just $165 + tax) before the pricing increase September 15th and we'll get you started towards a more confident, stronger, fitter, flexible and more energetic, you! Only a limited number of Intro Offers are available.

It's Pesto making time!

You will feel better in ten sessions, look better in twenty sessions, and have a completely new body in thirty sessions. Joseph Pilates

Stop doing this NOW! Having spent over 33 years working in health and wellness, I've seen a lot of people succeed and a lot of people fall short when it comes to their health and fitness. One of the top reasons I see people fail to even start is that "it's too expensive."... Whether they're talking about healthy foods or our coaching services, it seems people put a serious price tag on their health. And I gotta talk about that today. If you've ever said "it's too expensive" when it comes to improving your health, this is for you.... Walking is free. Healthy food is often cheaper that fast food - especially when you're cooking it youself and incorporating things like chicken, green vegetables, and even frozen produce. And coaching services like what I do? Of course, they're pricier than a Big Box Gym membership. But people work with us when they want to get real results, to change their lives. And those who are going to be successful both long and short term, know that their own health is the best investment they can make. Because if you're not healthy you can't enjoy anything else that money can buy either. So, what's your health worth to you? What's being vibrant and active vs couch/bedridden worth when you're older? What's it worth to be fully present and energized for your kids and grandkids? What's it worth to feel confident each day of your life? Can you put a price on living a life where you're medication and ailment free? No matter your age, you need to consider these things NOW. There's nothing more important to invest in. And sadly, most people don't realize until there's a problem that they wish they'd done something about years ago. So, I want to encourage you to be PROACTIVE instead of REACTIVE when it comes to your health. Never, ever skimp or price shop when it comes to the most important thing you've got....your health and wellbieng! To your health and fitness, Debbie Ross Bisignano P.S. If you're at that place where you want to truly change the quality of your life and start taking your health and fitness seriously grab our New Client Private Intro Offer (includes 3 Private Sessions for just $165 + tax) before the pricing increase September 15th and we'll get you started towards a stronger, fitter, flexible and more energetic, you!
