I was doing yoga with a video at home one day and my dancing daughter bounces into the room and starts doing everything they are doing on the tape. No strain, no grunting, unlike me who was doing both!
Oh man, I'll never forget - I bought a pilates and yoga tape (yes, all in one). My daughter and I tried it out together (she was about 15 at the time). We looked like two crazy women writhing in pain on the floor. We laughed so hard we both peed our pants! That was my one and only pilates experience!
I started Pilates 2 weeks ago; I spent all of last week in bed or at the chiropractors. I somehow managed to strain my neck muscles. WTH? I so better be in bikini shape by the end of May!
It took me so long to get a pilates dvd with a circle that I was too tired to see if the thing even worked. Now that I know they're dangerous, maybe I'll sell mine on ebay.
I am proud of you and know that it is all worth it....you are inspiring me to run a half marathon later in the year. One mile down and 12 more to go for me.

Poor Mama! Easy on the armpit! Hows your core?
The mini marathon is only 2 weeks away. The day after all this exercise, real and imagined can be a thing of your past. No more strained armpits!
Oh, Lord. Armpit pain sucks. Take it easy. Dr. Tracey said so. :0)
I dont get this whole pilates thing ... why would I want to bend that way at this stage of the game?
That's about 2000 more days than me. Hang in there - maybe you'll inspire me to get off of my (ample) rear.
Snort!
Ha! You go!
Never tried pilates. I hear it makes you taller. And have sore arms, apparently.
I'm with Daryl! What the heck?!

Yes, but if you stick with it you will have really buff armpits.
Um, do you want really buff armpits?

Keep at it - My sister in law started in January and you can really tell a difference!

Looks like the dog has it down pat. Nice looking armpits too!
Good luck with that. You know, if your goal is buff armpits. ;)

Oh my stinkin heck...arm pititus...that's terrible...you be careful now you hear...
Who knew?
Pilates, wasn't he a torturer in the New Testament?
And working on your armpits will help your running how? I say that lifting a glass and applying deodorant are the only exercise your armpits need.
I have a Pilates CD from 2 years ago, still unopened. Now, my sweet Maggie doggie held all her toys like this when we played and this made me laugh!
Love you, Mama!!
lol---yes, I'm embarrassed to admit armpits can get a muscle strain. Sad, isn't it?! :-)
No thank you. You may keep alllll the pilates at your house. And then some.
Yep and that planck thing...OMG forget it.
The last time I actually LOST weight, it was all due to Pilates. 15 pounds. True story. Just remember, it's all about the breeeaaaaathing.....
Sounds like a glass of wine is in order.
What is this thing called a gym?

Pilates is like steroids - quit and watch out!

I've only sat & watched my Pilates video so far, lol. That way you can't get hurt. Just bored.
