Real Girl Method

Erin Chambers is a certified Pilates and Barre Instructor in the Philadelphia and South Jersey area. Getting in shape shouldn’t be a punishment.

It’s an amazing and empowering lifestyle decision that anyone can make. I believe in finding the pleasurable side of fitness; and while there may be a sore muscle or two along the way, the benefits of fitness are worth the challenge. I have developed my training regime by working with a variety of people, and constantly adapting my program to the needs of my new clients.

Some mistakes beginners make in Pilates classes….Remember slow, controlled movements, be conscious of your breath and if it’s too easy you’re probably doing it incorrectly!!!

Vintage 1920s Physical Culture

Louise Brooks was an actress during the 1920s and 1930s who began her career as a dancer with Denishawn (Ted Shawn and Ruth St. Denis) and then continued on as a dancer New York City.

This vintage film footage of an exercise routine is from one of her movies, Diary of a Lost Girl.

Interestingly, she wrote in her personal diaries that she developed a swayback from dancing and that she successfully corrected it with exercise between 1938-1943. She would have had many options of exercises and physical culturists to work with and choose from, but I have to wonder if it could have been Pilates based on her background and history.

In the meantime, I’m still waiting for athleisure to bring this look back. Love that scarf-belt and loose-fitting bodysuit!
