Pilates, Strong Women

[snugglekitty]

On Monday I took a Pilates class for the first time. It was called Essential Pilates and was a beginner class. Boy, that shit is HARD, even before adding the props that make it more challenging. It felt to me like an athletic form of yoga. I liked it and plan to go again.

Tuesday I walked for about an hour, even though the weather was pretty abysmal. It all depends on your mood and your raingear. I was cheerful at the end.

Wednesday I went to Strong Women and then did my stretch routine on the ball. Very pleasant. This time was actually harder than last time, with the 7.5 pound weights. Well, I'm sure I will get used to them. Now I can do most of the crunches and balance excercises without collapsing, which makes me feel proud.

I wish the gym was open today. I would have been there. I would be there right now. But it's not. I will be there tomorrow early.

This afternoon I posted a personal ad in "strictly platonic" for a gym buddy. I hope I can find one! Surely Healthworks members use Craigslist too?

You can post on the healthworks bulletinn board in the locker room that you are looking for a gym buddy. Folks put up all sorts of advertisements for non-gym things, so I'm sure yours would be a welcome addition to the board.

Yup, I'm thinking of doing that as well. (Does this mean you're a member?)

Yeah, this is what I was going to say.

Lady_A, I'm really glad you're getting so much out of going to the gym! I loved Heathworks when I was a member.
