82 || MOST FITNESS || JUNE / JULY 2016MFM: What is your background?SJ: I%u2019m a Cali girl through and through. I was born here, and even though I have lived abroad and on the East Coast, I have always returned back to California. My energy thrives here, and my creativity and inspiration blossom from here. Everyone resonates in different places of the world, but I now know I prosper in California.MFM: Quirky habit?SJ: My quirky habit is that I am an avid reader and will read four books at the same time on different subjects. I%u2019m obsessed with reading and will get my hands on anything I can, even children%u2019s books.MFM: What is your best advice for our readers on where they should start when they have an injury or multiple injuries, and what is the fastest way to heal?SJ: When someone is starting out with exercise after an injury, I would say that Pilates is the best route to begin exercise with. Begin with caution and communicate with your instructor at all times if you have pain or discomfort. Make sure your instructor is a qualified teacher and has had proper training with 600 hours of apprenticeship. Acupuncture is also a perfect complement alongside the physical aspect of Pilates to heal. Acupuncture will heal through moving blood and energy and returning the body to hemostasis. Pilates and acupuncture are a beautiful combination of ultimate healing of an injury.MFM: Future projects/plans that you are currently working on?SJ: I just filmed a DVD/APP called Slim and Fit Pilates. I loved filming this Pilates workout. On the app you have ten options of workouts so you can download which one you want or all of them and have the flexibility of working out at home or anywhere you wish. My next project is a book I am working on about Pilates and wellness, combining my acupuncture expertise with Pilates%u2019 workouts for health and fitness.MFM: Where can MOST readers find you on social media?SJ: Most readers can find me onMy personal Instagram @sheenauprise Facebook- Sheena Jongeneel- UpRise Classical Pilates and Wellness, The studio%u2019s Instagram @uprisewellnessFacebook - UpRise Classical Pilates and Wellness Twitter- uprisewellness Studio: www.uprisewellness.comMy app: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/slim-fit-pilatessheena-jongeneel/id1067785492?mt=8
