How to do pilates
It made me
in shape!
 "Love it!"
How I did it: One of my best friends in town has taught Pilates for years (in picture attached). Always wanted me to come to her classes, but I always declined. I just never been that 'active' type.. .never did the sports or exercise thing. Finally, this year I turned 30 and decided I needed to do some type of physical activity. So I decided to attend her classes. To my surprise, I thought they were fun, relaxing, and challenging: the 3 aspects I hoped to achieve. I've been taking the classes for about 9 months now, and don't have any plans of quitting. Lessons & tips: Take a class. I wouldn't suggest training videos, but if that has worked for you, you can sure try that. Go to your first class with an open mind. It won't be easy, but take it as a challenge. Listen to your professor. BREATHE A LOT! Take deep breaths, and tune in with your muscles while you do your exercises. Resources: A friend! I started classes together with a friend. We go together after work. I even had 2 other friends join in. And we even go afterwards and do the healthy dinners thing. So, friends are a good resource. |

How I did it: Got a DVD and found out I didnt enjoy it and it wasn't really my thing. I have an thin, athletic body as it is and pilates probably isnt the best thing to keep it feminine looking, it needs something softer to keep it in shape. im going to try yoga instead Read how I did it…
mulysamaybe wonders if she is human or dancer...or what that even means.
How I did it: Luckily, my school offers both a beginning and an intermediate Pilates course in the physical education department. I decided that since I was already going to be on campus for classes last quarter that this would be a good way to motivate me to take some sort of fitness class at the same time. Not to mention, I am already paying tuition so adding the Pilates course didn't cost me more than I would have already been paying.&nb… Read how I did it…
How I did it: Last night, I was going through the OnDemand things and I found ExerciseTv. So I clicked New Year New You: Pilates. In the past my usual workout is Buns of Steel with Greg Smithey [ http://www.amazon.com/Original-Buns-Steel-Greg-Smithey/dp/6303182135 ] and it is way harder than the Pilates that I tried. Read how I did it…

Since I have been sick or with other sick relatives for most of July and August, I haven’t had time to do this. But I need to get in better shape and feel more energetic than I have so far so I have started once again. I really like doing it, it is just a matter of putting down the mat and get onto it… My discipline sucks but I will do what I can!
Alexxibexxi is loving the weather these days!
Something to keep me occupied and in shape too! Lets see how it works out lol !
I went for my first pilates class last Monday. Ohmygosh. It was a sheer torture. But my body felt really, really good and I discovered muscles I never knew existed. All after one session.
I’m going to make this a habit, for sure.

My sister is having me take a class with her this summer at the local uni – she’s been taking a pilates class since the fall.
I’m so out of shape, so I’m scared but she (my sister) keeps promising me a flat tummy. ;)
I bought the yoga mat and we start next week (depending on the teacher, if she’ll let me weasel into the class for free…)!

Very tiny step for humainty, big step for me! I started with an hour session again and it went pretty well, although I expect to be very sore tomorrow. In any case I have made an agreement with myself to do this one at least 3 times a week and the short 20 minute one 2 times. So 5 times a week for the next 3,5 weeks should at least give me a basis and then I can continue in second half of June and summer to get ready by September. Sounds like a good plan, now I only have to stick with it!It is about time I use that mat I bought last year! ;-)

later today! I have fallen off the wagon again, but now it’s time to get back on! I need to get in some kind of shape before the fall ‘no time to breath’ training season starts! So NOW is the time to do it!
Finished week 2. Actually, It was only really 4 days of exercise… drinking kinds cut out the 5th day. And I ate a tonne of crap last night, but since I danced my ass till 5am, I think it was fair enough.
This week i’m going to try to make it to 5 days of yoga and pilates and maybe add some jogging or dancing for CV.
I started on Monday doing 1 hour of toga and pilates in the mornings before work. Nothing too intense, just a few exercises and stretches. My ass feels great. I dunno how long I can keep this up, but i’m gonna try to keep it as a weekday thing. Weekends are for binge drinking and whatnot.
Good posture, rock hard abs, core strength, flexibility and more. I’ve already started, now I need to keep it up! Three times a week!
