As someone who is completely ball-illiterate, Lizzie Gore-Grimes was never the sporty one in school. However, in her late forties, she’s more active
than ever and thinks she might just have discovered the perfect fitness triumvirate in a blended mix of boxing, erging and pilates.
I can not imagine the expression on the engraver’s face when my mother presented him with said trophy. But it still sits proudly on my son’s shelf with a little metal disc glued on, engraved with the words “Lizzie Mum’s Race 2014” – proving that an Irish mammy’s pride truly knows no bounds.Clearly, it’s hard to top such a pinnacle of athletic achievement but I’m delighted to say that, ten years later, I feel even fitter and better about myself, as I teeter on the precipice of fifty.
The language and MO with Pilates is all about mobility – as you “release” into moves and “expand” and “open” into others. You can almost hear your back saying “thank you” as you move down out of bridge “vertebrae by vertebrae”. I find the breathwork really helpful too. After a day of kids and desk job stress, an evening Platinum session is like a cortisol decompression chamber.
