My New Pilates Partner
>> Monday, January 23, 2006
In my effort at exercise I popped in a pilates DVD this morning. It has 5 different workouts- abs, arms, legs & buns, flexability and "burn"- each 10 minutes long. I like the premise of this, do as much or as little as you want.
So this morning I lay out my purple yog mat, supply Brenna with milk & apple-cinnamon Cheerios and in goes the DVD.
I lay down on the mat and begin my stretching.
Brenna, seeing "Mommy down", walkes toward me, turns, backs up and sits on my stomach. Oooff!
The 10 minutes of workout probably resulted in 5 minutes of actual exercise. I stretch, she pulls. I lift & lower my legs, she thinks it looks like a fun ride. I twist, she hangs on. But I figure that with the added Brenna weight I got a full workout.
I can just see it: Baby & Me Pilates. It's gotta be coming.
