Tonight is my third session of my pilates classes, and I love them! It excites me knowing that when I leave the office tonight I will be on my way to a relaxing but difficult exercise. I can't wait.
Over the past couple of years doctors and physio's highly recommended I start pilates to ease my back pain. My regular readers, you will remember my hospital visit for this last Spring I'm sure. It was not fun, well except for the ice cream afterwards. Finally, I have made the decision to wait no longer and signed up to strengthen my core and give my back a helping hand. I'm hoping an eight pack will also result.
Literally one minute from my flat is a studio, The Acupuncture Clinic. They also have treatment rooms where they do all sorts of hippy stuff. I love it. My class is every Thursday evening for six weeks. There are about ten ladies in the class and I am the youngest, but I don't really mind. It's perfect, I get home in time for a quick change then skip across the road to my class. When it finishes there is no fuss getting home. I think the location is half of the reason I enjoy it so much; it's so easy to get to on these dark cold winter nights. I also always feel so much better when the class finishes, strengthened but stretched at the same time.
I used to be obsessed with yoga because of how good it made me feel. Unfortunately when I moved gyms I got out of that practice. I still do love it and hopefully someday soon I will be doing both yoga and pilates. (For now I have to limit the classes to pay for)
If you aren't doing it already check out pilates in your area, you wont regret it!
It's Jenn, just testing here. I was informed yesterday some of my dear readers are unable to post comments. Shocking and unacceptable! I've changed a few settings so hopefully it works now.
