Happy Wellness Wednesday!☀️

Most of you probably know that Perform PT is centered around a lot of pilates-based movement. Both of our clinics have pilates reformers for patients to use, along with various other pilates equipment. What you probably didn’t know is how pilates came to be what it is today…

Pilates was originally invented during WWI in England by a man named Joseph Pilates. Joseph was interned in 1918 at a camp in England, and while there he developed exercises to help keep fellow detainees healthy. He attached springs hospital beds, which is what later became what we all now know as the “reformer”.

Joseph officially immigrated to America in 1926, bringing his pilates ideas with him. During the late 1930s, Joseph developed a reputation for his ability to “fix” dancers injuries. Many dancers he worked with would go on to be the first of many pilates instructors. Joseph invented many other forms of pilates equipment, two of them being the trapeze table and the pilates chair. Pilates is now a widely known as a form of exercise that focuses on strengthening the body with an emphasis on core strength, flexibility, and posture.

This is your reminder that Perform offers pilates classes tailored to all fitness levels! Whether you’re a beginner or you’ve been taking pilates classes for years, we’ve got a spot for you! Here is our pilates schedule:

Nicole: Mondays at 9am & 9:45am
Megan: Tuesdays at 8:30am
Michelle: Thursdays & Fridays at 8:30am

Happy Wellness Wednesday☀️

We all know your “lifespan” is how long you live, and your “healthspan” refers to how long you’re in good health, but your “musclespan” is a newer term being used to refer to how we support our strength and healthy aging.

An article posted by Women’s Health states that having muscle “in reserve” (muscle built up earlier in life) can help you better handle inevitable injury, surgery, or illness later in life. Muscle is the key to a healthier, longer life because it is both a metabolic and endocrine organ. Muscle health, strength, and mass have proven to be some of the most robust predictors of healthy aging.

While physical activity may prime the muscle, resistance training builds the muscle. While cardio is a great way to get your exercise in during the week, we want to stress that resistance training is also very important to work in throughout the week. Resistance training builds stronger, healthier muscle, which may lead to an easier recovery for an inevitable injury or illness in the future.

Try setting a goal to do 30 minutes of resistance training just one or two days this week, and see if you can fit that into your weekly routine. I promise you won’t regret it!

Happy Wellness Wednesday!☀️

For those who don’t know, creatine is a naturally occurring compound made from amino acids that helps the body produce rapid energy during heavy lifting or high intensity exercise. It is primarily stored in the muscles and brain, but most people also take it as an oral supplement.

Although the supplement is heavily marketed for building muscle, creatine may also support age-related muscle loss or cognitive changes. Research shows that creatine…

Improves physical performance
Supports menopause
Improves muscle retention
Improves executive function

This means that in addition to improvements in physical performances, creatine may help support muscle and bone health impacted by lower estrogen, help support balance, mobility, and long term independence, and newer trials even report improvements in memory, attention, and reaction time.

If you have been looking for a reason to try creatine, this is it! If you’re going to take it, make sure you are consistent and you are drinking plenty of water!

Happy Wellness Wednesday all the way from Lake of the Ozarks!

With the weather continuing to get hotter, we want to remind everyone to drink plenty of water! On average, you should be drinking at least 64oz of water a day, though it is not a “one size fits all”. It varies slightly based on body size, activity level, climate, and diet.

Now that it’s summer, we encourage you to make sure you are getting at LEAST 64oz in a day!

Happy Wellness Wednesday!!

Today we wanted to touch on an interesting post by the Institute of Clinical Excellence regarding the spine….

For those who don’t know, a spinal disc is a flexible, fibrocartilaginous cushion located between the vertebrae in your spine. They act as shock absorbers, protect the spine, and allow your back to bend and twist.

The Institute of Clinical Excellence recently made a post emphasizing the fact that a disc is actually a living tissue that depends on compression and decompression cycles to survive because it has no direct blood supply. By being sedentary, we are actually disrupting nutrient diffusion and raising matrix acidity, which accelerates the changes that often get blamed on “aging”.

To read more about the disc, and the importance of movement; head over to and check out their post. You may learn something new☀️

The recently posted a pretty cool article that we think everyone should take a look at…

“Is the Secret to Men’s Longevity a Great Butt?”
Here are some highlights:

Rob Thompson, an LA trainer who works with celebrities and CEOs, says that 9 out of 10 times your knee issues, hip issues, and bad posture is caused by weak glutes.

Thomas Chou, a managing partner at the law firm Morrison Foerster. says that since he started building his leg and glute muscles 2 years ago, his posture has improved, and he has never been more agile.

Dr. Benito Villanueva, a longevity specialist and medical director, says you do see temporary increases in hormones like testosterone and growth hormone with resistance training, especially when larger muscle groups (glutes) are involved.

This article is the just the tip of the iceberg of the benefits of working your glutes. If you’re reading this, this is your sign to start working on those glutes!!!🍑😤
