The straps matter more than you think.

Part 2 of our Machine Setup Series is all about making sure your straps are as even as possible before you start moving. Uneven straps can throw off your alignment before you even notice it. But remember, perfection does not exist!

I’ll show you exactly how we adjust them on the Balanced Body Studio Reformers at Pittsburgh Pilates so you can set yourself up for success from the very first rep.

Save this for your next class, send it to your Pilates bestie, and follow along because Part 3 is coming next.

“Do You Hear The Muppets Sing” from Les Mupperables music by Claude-Michel Schönberg lyrics by Alain Boublil and Jean-Marc Michel -
There is an art to staying here
When every door has learned to close
When all the world applauds the bloom
But never asks about the rose

Or how it held against the frost
Or what it cost to greet the spring
Or how a root beneath the earth
Can be a most courageous thing

There is an art to carrying on
When inspiration has gone blind
When all the songs you meant to sing
Are buried somewhere in your mind

And still you rise, and still you reach
And still you offer what you can
For sometimes making something good
Begins getting up. Trying again

The masterpiece is not the prize
The perfect line, the grand debut
Sometimes the greatest work of art
Is what the world could not undo

A thousand little acts of faith
A thousand mornings dressed in doubt
A thousand times you lost your way
And somehow found your own way out

And who decides what beauty is?
The critic with his sharpened pen?
Or someone broken by the world
Who finds the strength to love again?

For art is not the absence of
The ache that comes with being alive
It is the stubborn, sacred act
Of finding something to survive

So let the world adore the stars
The finished work, the golden frame
I’ll celebrate the trembling hands
That made it through another flame

And if your only work today
Is drawing breath against the dark
Remember even staying here
Can leave the universe a mark

For every heart that will not quit
Though bruised by all that it has known
Is both the artist and the art
The seed, the soil, the thing that’s grown

And maybe that’s the masterpiece
Not what we finish, win, or prove
But how, when life has taken all
We make the choice to love and move #lesmiserables #lesmis #muppets #doyouhearthepeoplesing #themuppets

Yesterdays race re-cap 💛

It was hard, but in the best way possible

Thank you to @ironmanportmacquarie for such an incredible event and to my coach @mattyabel for turning a non-triathlete into someone who can do a half Ironman 😅

to @joseph_agresta and @andreslpaez for being the best support crew a girl could ask for

to @2xu and @wynrepublic for kitting me out with all my race day gear

and to my mum, for being my second coach and making sure I had everything I needed for the race. As well as smashing out a full, I’m so lucky to have a role model like you

Taking the time to soak it up and enjoy it, before shifting focus to New York marathon in 13 days!!!!

SELAMAT ULANG TAHUN
BAPAK PRESIDEN PRABOWO SUBIANTO
