the road to fabulous

pilates

i love pilates!

next to walking, this is my favorite form of exercise. i love the controlled movements and how it increases flexibility as it also creates muscular strength and tone without increasing the size of the muscle. (i certainly don't want bigger muscles! everything else on my body is already big!)

i alternate between two pilates videos - winsor pilates and pilates after pregnancy. the former is more demanding, so i do it on days when i'm not able to walk. the other one focuses more on the tummy area, so i like that too. neither is easy, some of the exercise are very challenging (i'm getting better at the full teaser now, but rolling like a ball i still painful to my lower back.)

if i can only get my little boy to stop trying to "help" me when i'm exercising, i can probably enjoy this more. =)

everything in pilates will be easy for you pat as you keep on doing it. one day, you won't sweat as much anymore. you will reach that point when pilates seems kulang.
have you noticed how you can walk so tall after doing a series of pilates?

yes! my posture is a lot better and i feel taller. =)

i bought a set of winsor pilates dvd's that has beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. i'm still doing the beginner's workout, but i think i'll be moving on to the intermediate level soon.
