Anything is Possible with Pilates

Yet, my condition deteriorated, and I ended up with a tumor to boot. Approximately 6 years ago I became a student of mat Pilates, checked the book out from the library, and started with that and two classes offered at a local club. I had to find a way to strengthen myself without standing.

Upon viewing several of her QVC demos and checking with my Pilates instructor (she has the heavy, PT type machine at home), I was informed that there was no exercise I could not perform on the lightweight JP that they did on the PT model.

I have been using it every day since January. I am model thin, and strong. At 46, I told my orthopaedic surgeon not to schedule PT after my tumor removal saying “give me two months.”

Yes, in two months at my check up, I was deemed strong, healthy (as is possible) and do not have any atrophy. The Pilates JP 4500 has been a miracle for me. I combined a program with all three levels of the tapes, and I feel like part of the world again, even with my disability. As a member of Gold's Gym, Venice (Mecca of Body Building), where I do my cardio on a recumbent bike, people are amazed at my transformation and healing.
 
Please give Marjolein's program a try. Also, I'm a vegetarian and I find her new website wonderful, and am thrilled that I came upon Marjolein.

Thank you.
