Practice Pilates

I just noticed my last entry for this goal was getting on for 18 months ago. I have done some pilates between then and now, but not recently. I moved just over 2 months ago and my gym ball is still deflated. Terrible! I shall get it blown up before Xmas day and make it a new resolution to do at least one pilates session a week. Hopefully this will also help me build up some strength and help with my physio and then I might not be in pain all day every day.

I did this before work today. It woke me up a bit more.

doing some ball exercises at least once a day for about a week now.

Did this again last night. My back was terribly painful yesterday, but the edge seems to be off the pain now. Uphill all the way I hope.

I did a 10 minute session this morning to mobilise me a bit before uni. I just did my bedtime session, which is longer. My back is still crippled, but it will get better soon I hope. At anyrate there’s only two days of Uni before the hols.

tonight’s session.
I’m concentrating on back exercises for now. I’m not sure if it’s because I started mobilising it again by doing Pilates or for some other reason, but my back has been really painful for the past two days. I can do without that. Maybe it’s the lack of sleep. I’ll go to bed now and perhaps tomorrow will be a better day.

of doing this before bed. I hope anyway. I’ve done two nights in a row now.

and I’m feeling the difference. My legs are a bit tight this morning – maybe it will be better to do extra loosening exercises before I have a shower in the morning. I need to add in more shoulder/arm exercises in a few days.

I’ve done a little bit of pilates. Need to keep going to get the benefit.

I’ve been doing Inner and Outer Thigh Lifts every morning and night (10 repetitions) for the past 4 days now. I need to add some back strengthening stretches to the program next.
