Amy and Thea interview Jaimee about body image. Being an instructor and finding how to love yourself. We can all speak kinder to ourselves and appreciate more the vessels we are in. Jaimee shares her journey to find self acceptance. We hope she inspires you to live your best life.Jaimee first heard about Pilates from her high school Drama teacher. She was immediately intrigued by the use of controlled movement and breathing to sculpt the entire body. With a deep distaste for cardio, this sounded like the perfect workout for her. She tried her first Pilates class her freshman year at Savannah College of Art and Design and immediately fell in love. It was effective and it was a total mind and body experience. She found that she was drawn to the instructors who incorporated music into their workouts and after graduating in 2013, she found POP Pilates. Jaimee loved how POP Pilates mixed the fundamentals of Pilates with the fun energy of music and rhythm. This was exactly what she had been looking for! Pop Pilates changed her entire outlook on fitness. Workouts became fun and fitness became a lifestyle. She even developed a working relationship with cardio! Jaimee knew that she had to share the POP Pilates format, so she decided to become a certified member of the POP Army and currently teaches around the NC Triangle. Thea met Jaimee at a Pop Pilates retreat and immediately loved her energy. Not only is Jaimee so much fun to be around, talk about amazing energy! She is also a highly qualified and great instructor. She currently teaches online and in person. Follow her on instagram @thtfitgrlHow to better FLEX through life, with your hosts Amy V. and Thea M.

We wanted to share an intimate conversation with her, to help those of us experiencing injury heal together. If injury has set you back, you are not alone. Patty has a crazy rare back injury. Her injury is so rare, we can't really pronounce it. The cauda equina is the continuation of these nerve roots in the lumbar and sacral region. These nerves send and receive messages to and from the lower limbs and pelvic organs. Cauda equina syndrome (CES) occurs when there is dysfunction of multiple lumbar and sacral nerve roots of the cauda equina We talk weight loss surgery, becoming obsessed with yoga, and how healing feels weird some days.We often fixate on the final result but forget that we spend most our time in that awkward in between.If injury has set you back, you are not alone. It doesn't have to set you back forever. We talk on todays podcast on ways to be kind to yourself. Here on Flex we want to remind you, that you're doing a great job.

How to deal with stress!Amy and Thea sit down and talk about STRESS! We wanted to start here because we both see so many people deal with this. As a personal trainer, this is one of the first questions I ask clients, especially those interested in losing weight. Stress has so many negative effects, some of them are obvious like headaches or bad sleep; others are hard to see sometimes, like a bad attitude. Stress manifests in our lives because being a human is stressful. The world isn’t perfect and there's always that pressure to survive. Whether it's family, or your career or personal relationships, we are all not immune to stress. But you have the power to limit how stress effects you, and that's what we talk about today!Amy is a licensed and practicing Therapist.
