Holy Shit.
Ouch.
WTF am I doing???
That would have been what you would have heard if you had been here during my first Pilate's workout. But wait - I really should start at the beginning - so you get the whole picture.
I popped in the DVD and figured I probably ought to watch it through, segment by segment, before I actually try to do it. I thought it might help if I had an idea of what I was doing and what to expect.
So I plop myself down on the couch with a glass of water and a cigarette. I start up the DVD and it takes me to a beautiful beach setting. WooHoo!! I'm gonna like this.
They start with the abdominal workout. Watching I couldn't help but feel a little cocky - looks easy enough. Huh. Wonder if this will even really do any good. Finished the cigarette about the same time the segment ends. So I go back to the beginning, move the coffee table out of the way and get into position.
That would be where you would have heard the Holy Shit! Yeah - this stuff is harder than it looks.
Get through the first segment and just want to stop. But oh no.....I made myself a promise. I'm taking a little trip in March and I want to wear my favorite jeans. I MUST GO ON!!!!
So I sit back down on the couch and light another cigarette while studying the second segment. YIKES. Knowing now that it's not as easy as it looks I can see this is gonna be challenging.
Yeah - that would be the OUCH part. Finished that and, yep - you got it....sat back down on the couch for a little aqua and smokie. The next part? Yeah - if I were a guy I'd call it a ball buster. Instead lets just say - WTF am I doin'????!!!???!!
So - hence ends my first Pilate's workout. It's worth it. Right? I'm gonna look great. Right? Damn - I hope so......

Wish I could go with you in March *sigh*. Oh well - can't do everything!
