Reclaiming my mobility: A Pilates Instructor’s journey through a full knee replacement.
As a Pilates mat instructor I know how essential mobility is. But two and a half years ago, after tearing my meniscus during a Taekwondo class, the pain became unbearable, and I was later diagnosed with osteoarthritis in that knee. I struggled with walking, a devastating blow as I couldn't take my dogs for a walk. This blog documents my journey through knee replacement surgery and my determination to reclaim my mobility and get back to walking my dogs and being physically active again.
Mindset matters: Transform your health goals.
You had your New Year’s resolution to lose weight and get fit, but now it’s February, and nothing’s changed. Sound familiar? The key to lasting success isn’t just willpower—it’s your mindset. Exercise shouldn’t be a punishment for what you’ve eaten or just about burning calories. It should be a way of life, a tool to stay strong and healthy.
To break the cycle of frustration, focus on why you want to move. Is it to keep up with your grandkids? To feel energised for daily activities? When exercise becomes about long-term health rather than quick fixes, consistency follows.
