do pilates regularly

Liezy – our teacher – is leaving for Peru for 2.5 years! She said she found a great girl to replace her but I don’t want a replacement! I want Liezy! Luckily, she is not leaving until November so we still have some time to get used to the idea. I am keeping my eyes open for other classes though, just in case I don’t like the new girl.

Part of why I enjoy my pilatesclass so much is because of the instructor, Lizzy. Even though I always feel like the biggest klutz in the room, she keeps encouraging me and has complemented me on my progress on more than one occasion. On Wednesday during the lesson’s relaxation I got an uncontrollable cramp in my right foot and she came over and took my foot in her hand to alleviate the pain. It didn’t help all that much but it was incredibly kind of her.

A couple of weeks ago I enrolled in a weekly one-hour class and one of the first things the instructor told us is that if you want actual result, you also need to do the exercises at home. I have been getting up twenty minutes earlier to squeeze in a short work out before going to work but I don’t know how long I will be able to fight the urge to hit the snooze button at 6.40am.
