pilates

Me too! At home, the only time I wear shoes is if I'm doing a step workout. This has taught me how to land so that it protects my ankles, knees, and hips.

 

 

I did the workout barefoot because I was on the mat the entire time, that was nice not having shoes on for a while.

 

I love working out barefoot.  I never wear shoes when I'm doing an all upper body workout.   With pilates,  I've never been a fan of it.  I've tried, but just can't get into it.  It is tough, that's for sure.

 

Good for you, .

Yes. I wrote "pilates" because I did the Winsor 20 Minute Workout. I don't know why I dread doing pilates so much because I actually enjoy this workout and the two or three times I've ever done it (including today) I feel great when I get done. Mari irritates me a bit but other instructors irritate me a lot more. Anyway, I did pilates because the soles of my feet (the heel area) are still aching AND my stupid right toe decided to start bugging me a bit last night. The doc adjusted my orthotics last week and I'm not sure it helped but might have hurt. Of course, I was also lugging stuff up and down stairs quite a bit yesterday (my informal workout) so that might have something to do with it too. Part of me is whining, "still, it shouldn't have to be this way" and the self-reflecting part calmly answers "but it is this way too because my feet aren't 100% and I try to act like they are just because they feel better." I know the game. I need to let them fully recover before I push it too much. I don't always know where too much is though is part of the problem (and the greater part is my own impatience). So anyway, THAT is why I did pilates today! :-) I'm a bit worried because I can't see the doc with a $35 co-pay after the 31st (DH's last paycheck and I'm sure we'll have to pay COBRA to keep our health insurance) and I don't know if it will be better enough to not see him after that so I'm really laying low right now. I'm thinking I might soak my feet in a bath of epson salt too (need to get some anyway), it can't hurt. On the job hunt front too, DH has a few leads he's following up on. We're both telling everyone we know and we're actually hearing good ideas back including names and numbers of people to contact. This is so different from 2008 when he was last laid off. Then, people just said, "I'm so sorry to hear that." As if you'd just told them that you had died. It was awful. I am still nervous but at least more hopeful (please keep the prayers coming, both for a job and for our/my nerves).
