"It really suits my body and fitness goals to a tee and now that I have The Pilates Class, I've found it easier than ever to stick to a routine and reach my goals because I never have an excuse—it's literally so easy to roll out of bed and do a class at home."
She added, "Finding that balance between the physical aspects of working out (building that booty, maintaining those abs) and mental aspects (learning to connect to my body and breath, mental clarity) was pivotal for me."

3. She Does Classes
Tash does Pilates classes with her business partner, Jacqui Kingswell. She talked about how working with Kingswell helped her stay motivated.
"When I started doing classes with Jacqui in person two years ago I immediately knew how talented and special she was," Tash wrote. "She is inspiring and motivational but also has a calm and grounding presence that I crave so much within my hectic schedule."
The influencer added, "My routine on a weekly basis is to follow the Satisfying to Intense schedule on The Pilates Class app. There are walks and runs included in the weekly schedule which is a great way to break it up. I will add ankle/ arm weights and booty bands to most of my classes to make the workout a little more intense and really build strength."
Her schedule typically includes a combo of quick 10 to 20-minute goals classes, along with some lengthier sessions. "I will sometimes change the schedule around to suit my day," Tash wrote. "Stretching is something I have also focused on a lot more over the last few years so I'll do an extra stretch class at least once a week. Not only does this help with muscle recovery but it feels absolutely amazing."

4. She Walks and Runs
Tash doesn't skip out on cardio.
"I also love incorporating walking and running into my routine mostly during the warmer months," she wrote in her blog. "I am really not good with the cold which explains why I have created a life and career that revolves around warm destinations! I usually do a 45min- 1.5 hour walk on my chill days. If I am running, I will do about 45 mins of jogging with some sprint intervals in the middle."

My partner and I also do Meatless Mondays and Vegan Tuesdays which I encourage all meat eaters to do at the very least," Tash wrote.
She Gets Plenty of Sleep
Tash also prioritizes her beauty rest by optimizing her bedtime routine.
"I put my phone down from 8pm most nights, take baths, drink tea and do my skin care routine so by the time my head hits the pillow I am in a calm and blissful state ready for my 8 hours," she wrote.
