“Movement should be approached like life –
with enthusiasm, joy and gratitude –
for movement is life, and life is movement,
and we get out of it what we put into it.”
~ Ron Fletcher
First Generation Master Pilates Teacher
An entire day is devoted to “Thanksgiving” later this month. Rather than limiting “thanks” to one day, consider practicing gratitude every day.
To fuel inspiration – here are some interesting facts about the amazing human body…
One person is composed of –
- 206 bones1
- over 600 muscles2
- 4,000 tendons3
- 900 ligaments4
- 79 organs5
- 30 trillion cells6
Exercise benefits the body and mind and gratitude benefits the mind and body too.
So before the Thanksgiving Holiday officially begins, you can start celebrating early and continue through the Holiday season.
As Joseph Pilates said –
“Every moment of our life can be the beginning of great things.”7
Wishing you and your loved ones
A Happy Thanksgiving!
