pilates

Lately, I've been taking some semi-private pilates lessons with someone from my work. Usually it is just me and her, but sometimes another person we don't know joins the semi-private group.

I just went yesterday, and the instructor would say something like, "and now the tree"- and just look at me like I was supposed to know exactly what the tree is. This was my 8th session and I certainly don't have all the movements down with their names yet. But this is obviously something she expects me to know. So, I guess I'm going to have to start studying the positions and names. I didn't realize that I'd have to get this into it.

I have to do 7 more semi-private or private sessions before I can start taking the drop-in classes which are half the price of the semi-private sessions. And I guess in the classes they will expect me to know which names go with what position, so I better get studying.

I would be happy to know the names etc, but still...Like I have nothing else to do!

I had the same issue, which is why I love my Wii Fit. It walks me through the Yoga and doesn't give me dirty looks or attitude. It tells me what the hell I am doing and how to do it every time.
