Celebrity trainer and author, Yasmin Karachiwala, doesn’t just work on her own health and wellness, but inspires others to become the best version of themselves. “Feeling tired and bloated during that time of the month? đ©Pilates can be very beneficial during menstruation as it helps improve circulation, alleviate cramps, and promote relaxation without being overly strenuous. Most people avoid working out during their periods but I’ve always found Pilates helps most of my clients. Here are some simple Pilates exercises that are suitable during this time: Repeat for 3 roundsđ€ Articulated Bridge â 6-8 reps. Toe Taps â 8-10 reps each. Supine Spine Stretch â 4-6 reps each side. Single Leg Stretch â 6-8 reps each. Swan â 6-8 reps,” she said on Instagram. Here’s what she focuses on to stay in such great shape.
It’s important to go beyond physical strength, focusing on self-esteem, mental clarity, and confidence, as well. “Don’t tell me what I can’t do đJumping into this trend a bit late, but it’s never too late for a powerful message! đExpectations, stereotypes, and so-called rulesâseriously, what’s with all this noise? As midlife women, we’re redefining the rules: Wear what makes us feel fabulous! Choose workouts that challenge and bring us joy! Learn and grow in ways that excite us! And yes, lift heavy weights like the strong women we are,” she said on Instagram.
In addition to the rest of her body, she prioritizes her abs. “Quick, effective, and intense Pilates abs âjust how I like it!đđđŒRepeat for 2 to 3 roundsâšAround the World â 10 reps (ball under thoracic) âšDead Bug â 10 reps (ball under sacrum) âšPush Through â 10 reps (ball under ankles). Save this for later and share it with your friends who might enjoy it đ€đ€,” she said on Instagram.
She works through setbacks to reach important health and wellness goals. “My reel today is about more than just lifting weightsâit’s about lifting yourself up. For any woman, especially us over 50, it’s not #about luck or body type, it’s about resilience and determination. Every failure is just another step forward, and every workout is proof of strength. Embrace the grind, own your power, and never forget the beauty in your journey. â€ïžâš,” she said on Instagram.
She knows the importance of staying consistent when it comes to her fitness goals and lifestyle. “Key to consistency? Becoming #StrongerInside,” she said on Instagram,” she said on Instagram. “There is a connection between mental health and physical health. When our bodies are well-nourished and cared for, this can improve our brain health, which makes it easier for us to feel happier and present,” according to bridgeportct.gov.
Whatever it is that throws her off her routine, she makes it a point to get back on track. “Ganpati Bappa has left, and it’s time to get back on track.
