Guest guest Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 OH yay! I like Pilates for a variety of reasons, even though it's been awhile since I've done one:1) you're never bored, you quickly go from one exercise to the next2) exercises look easy to the outsider, but they are really hard 3) no equipment needed other than a mat4) I feel feminine doing them, like a ballerinathe hundred,laura I almost forgot to post my workout from this morning. I did Mari Winsor's 20 Minute Workout. This is my 2nd or 3rd time doing this and I like it a lot. She moves quickly but there's time to rest a little between exercises and there's tons of variety (only about 8 or 10 reps per exercise) so no boredom. I felt good doing it and finally did really good with the rolling like a ball. I always went too far back and then flung myself forward and banged my feet on the ground instead of balancing, today I actually balanced each time and felt much more in control. The same cannot be said about my " seal. " It has been hopeless and still is. The best I can do is laugh as I attempt it! It is weird how good these pilates workouts are making me feel. I hated them before but now I feel so good when I finish. Just weird (in a good way). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 I'm not so sure I feel like a ballerina, I still feel so cloddish doing some of them and since my legs don't seem to go as straight or as high as the people in the videos I feel even less ballerina-ish but that's okay too. I'm learning to just laugh and not compare myself so much! Re: Mari & me OH yay!
