The Pilates Class
- C-Curve work
- Ab Series
- Back Extensions
- Hip Series
- Tabletop
- Pilates Press & Heart to Sky
Synopsis
- Upshot: Two blue mats are way more comfortable.
- Downside: The blue mats are too short.
- What I'm most proud of: My abs are so getting stronger!
- What I would do differently: Work more on keeping my balance steady.
Overall
I can definitely see improvement! Already there's noticeable improvement! I feel that deep core muscle and can hold it for so much longer. My back hurts so much less in running and in swimming. This rocks. I can't believe I never did it before!

Overall
Caught a late evening swim right before Pilates class. It was surprisingly refreshing and even easier to swim. It's odd. I swim terribly in the morning, but do great in the evening. This is so unlike all my other workouts where mornings are always so much better! Go figure. Anyway, it was a great, easy, paced swim. I like these longer endurance ones sometimes. I'd like to add one in once a week …
