pilates

Somehow the gods were shining down on me two weeks ago because David came home with a gift certificate for 5 private pilates session at a local pilates place. He didn't have to buy it, because it was given to his boss as a gift and she gave it to me! How lucky, right?

Well yesterday I went for my inaugural session. She put me on about 4 different contraptions (machines) and we went through a series of movements. I'm a sore today, so I'm worried about how I'll feel tomorrow. I'm really hoping that this will be a great way to build those core muscles to alleviate back pain, and keep it from re-occurring. The private lessons are pretty pricey, but they also have semi-private lessons (which are only somewhat less pricey). In order to be eligible to take their mat classes (much cheaper), you have to do 15 private or semi-private lessons. So, I'll have 5 knocked out when I finish this gift certificate. Assuming I continue to like it, and think it is helping me, I'm going to have to figure out how to keep taking lessons to get to the 15.

Well, you could compare the cost to doctor bills, therapy, surgery or what ever else,(not to mention the pain of course) you might have to go through if you DON'T build up your core. Sheesh, there I go sounding like a mom again!

Love you!
