Time for the pilates report...
there was a lot of laying on the floor and lifting (or trying lift) your legs up like which was basically wacked out crunches
there were some extremely slow sit ups (she said they weren't sit ups, but she didn't fool anybody)
there was something called the plank which was basically one long, continuous up push up
my body shape is something like and bellies don't do crunches or sit ups well... and planks soon become sagging planks cause you just can't keep your butt in the right place
people with 15 year old umbilical hernias a clementine could fit through probably shouldn't be doing mat pilates
once we stood up I was actually quite good at balancing on one leg or pretending I was on a tightrope
I wasn't sure which would be ruder, not participating much or leaving...
I opted to not participate but it gave me too much time to think and I kept giggling because I could picture peeps at pilates who had had too many pooper muffins or too much cabbage soup
hopped on a treadmill for an hour afterwards
guess I'd better go dig out the swimsuit cause I need some more time before I will be pilate-able
That is so funny!
I thought the same thing first class I did (pilates / yoga / tae chi combo) - I almost fell on my face when we had to stand on one leg...
and the plank / push up thing killed me!
