Pilates anyone?

Evening all - I just returned from a pilates class and I can't believe what a great workout I got!! It is amazing to feel my muscles respond to the moves. The class was an hour long (could anyone survive longer???) and it was great. I will be going twice a week and I'm curious if others have tried pilates? They told me that "results" will come quickly if I stick with it (that's good news for those of us with no patience....

Beth - good for you on the commitment to a 5K - I aspire!! Running has never been of interest to me - I blame it on bad form. I do enjoy walking and would certainly consider a walk a thon - I'll have to keep my eyes open for one.

The scale voted in my favor today and I had great "food" day. I am satisfied that I did all I could toward my goals today - that feels good.

I am going to take a long hot soak.....my muscles are screaming!

Hey Dawn--I did my first yoga/tai chi class on Sunday. I know it is a bit different from Pilates but i LOVE LOVE LOVED it!!! I'm glad you are enjoying it and seeing what a great workout it is! If you read celebrity gossip and whatnot, they are always saying how great pilates are for your body. I am trying to incorporate more into my routine as well.

mmmmmm I'm jealous. I've heard that pilates are fabulous. I just don't have the time to make the classes, and generally do much better in a class or with a trainer/friend than on my own with anything other than cardio.

Plus, there are a lot of cute pilates-friendly gym clothes out there :)
