Los Angeles Pilates instructor goes no holds barred in a candid discussion of how clients get slim doing the same exercises as everyone else

Non stop Pilates teaching these days. I’m training clients I haven’t seen since January 2010. Luckily, nobody is in denial these days. Those that have strayed from a healthy weight already know what they need to do. Still, there are vices that keep them from making any real progress.

I spoke with a client today on the phone and she was looking for diet tips since I wouldn’t be seeing her until next week.
