There is a new exercising love in my life - Pilates. I take a class on Wednesday morning (mat not machine) and it is some of the hardest exercising I've ever done. I was so sore for 4 days after my first class. I want more! So many people have said that pilates changes the shape of your body. I've only taken 3 classes and I can totally see that happening. It stretches you out and makes you stand taller. I think I might have to pick up a DVD to do it a few times a week at home. Any suggestions?
As a little girl, I loved ballet. I took it for a few years, along with other dance styles. I think I may sign up for an adult ballet class. Dancers have such amazing bodies and maybe I can imagine myself having that type of body while I am doing a plié. I guess I like exercises that make you control your muscles and movement.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Enjoy your turkey. Gobble Gobble.

Hey there - very cool you found your "soulmate exercise"! I think Leah is giving a pilates DVD on bookieboo.com. Go check out the message boards on there.
ReplyDeleteGood luck! Can't wait t hear your progress!
Great! It's always fun when you find something new to enjoy. I would check Netflix. They have a variety of selections.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you back. I have wanted to get into pilates or barre method because I am always on the lookout to add grace to my physical self anyway possible (I am short and stout). Just doing yoga I am an inch taller than I was a couple of years ago. Keep us up to date on your pilates progress :)
