I wanted to learn Pilates, but so far all I have down is the basic warm-up stretching. It’s similar to what I did when I swam competitively, only Pilates style. I haven’t evolved to the real Pilates yet, but I’ve been consistently (and properly) stretching every day. After carrying an infant in a Snugly, I feel like I need to stretch. I feel like I have more balance and confidence in my steps as well. And hopefully this will be the first winter I lose weight instead of gaining it.
