Today I tried something new: pilates. And I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it. It was hard and I couldn't do a lot of the moves, but I know I'll get stronger if I stick with it. And it was much more my style than, say, kickboxing. The lights were dim and there was soft music and I was in control of my movement. I know I'm comparing apples and oranges here and I'm not saying will never kickboxing again. I just really enjoyed pilates. I left with the feeling that I had a good core strengthening workout and I never felt like I might hurl or die. I'm going to try to start going every Tuesday and Thursday morning.
Goals for today:
track calories
stay under limit
drink 2 more bottles of water (I've had one already)

Good for you, trying something new. I've done pilates before and definitely feel it in my core. It never got any easier for me, but then again I didn't stick with it for very long either:( I need to though. I could use some core strengthening!
ReplyDeletelol about feeling like you're going to hurl in kickboxing. I remember feeling like I just might die before class ended... but it'll get better if you keep going! I am totally depressed that kickboxing has been hurting so much; I love it so much!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you liked pilates! I used to do it every day before I got pg with Sophie. I've tried it at the gym too and didn't really like it. It hurts my disks and I also like to feel like I'm sweating and gasping for breath so I know it's a really good workout! lol I wish I like it though :(
