Pilates

Last week I started a pilates class. I wasn't really sure what to expect as I've never done it before but I'm hoping it will help me. I have general strength but I lack flexibility and core strength so I'm hoping this will improve it.

It's actually really hard work. Apparently you are challenging your core muscles through the movement of your arms and legs. You look at it and think, yeah that's fine but in reality, you're not just doing the moves but you've got all your core muscles engaged at the same time. I think I'm being shown up by a class full of middle aged women on some moves.

Now that I'm a little less busy I'm going to try and practise the moves a couple of times a week and hopefully I'll improve or at least find it a little easier in class.
