We’re stiff and sore in the morning.
It’s harder to rebound from injuries, no matter how slight they are.
But we have kids and like being active.
And we want it to stay that way.
This fast-growing fitness company has plenty of other fans, tooJennifer Aniston perhaps being the most notable.
Aniston just recently partnered with Pvolve after falling in love with the program herself.
Karin looked into all sorts of exercise and physical therapy programs and decided to give Pvolve a try.
She fell in love the first week.
Three months in she said her pain had gone down 70%.
Karin kept doing Pvolve and kept talking about how beneficial it was to her overall health and well-being.
I wondered if it could help me, too.
I wondered if Pvolve would help with any of this.
Karin and I aren’t the only ones who came to Pvolve for pain relief.
Relieving pain is precisely the reason it started in the first place.
“I found myself at a crossroads.
I was experiencing a lot of back pain from all of the high-intensity workouts I was doing.
She felt like she found the answer and couldn’t wait to share it.
First, What Is Pvolve?
Many of the sequences are meant to mimic everyday movement.
We’re reaching, we’re rotating, we’re bending,” Katzman says.
And the instructors cue them as such to really drive the idea of mind-body connection.
Do You Need Special Equipment to Do Pvolve?
If you exercise at home, you may have similar items already, like ankle weights and gliders.
I love that it targets just about every muscle in my legs.
What’s Katzman’s favorite piece?
TheP.Ball(there’s even a two-week series dedicated to it!).
Currently, you cantry out Pvolve for freefor seven days.
If you’re not a fan, just send back the equipment.
If you like it, keep itand keep going.
From the first class, it was clear this program was different.
I moved my body in ways I’ve never moved it before in an exercise class.
Many of the movements are created to mimic things you do every day, like reaching and walking.
But I felt a difference really fast.
A few months later, I noticed that I was moving differently.
I was engaging my glutes more when I walked and ran.
In April, I hiked almost 7 miles and didn’t roll it!
Seems like progress to me.
Bottom Line
Katzman told me that movement is her medicine, and that really resonated with me.
While I’m not super fit, I am active.
I hike, run, bike, practice yoga and more.
If I’m not moving, I feel it in my mind and my body.
And if I slack on my Pvolve workouts, my body is not happy.
For instance, April and May were crazy busy and I didn’t prioritize Pvolve.
My morning stiffness returned.
But the instant I did another workout, I felt myself standing and sitting up straighter.
I felt my legs moving the right way.
When I woke up in the morning, I feltgood.
And that’s all the reason I need to keep at it.
