Turning over a new Leaf

In the recent past years I have gone from being a once a week Pilates rehab patient to being a twice a week advanced Pilates student to an avid gym bunny but no more Pilates and recently to a reluctant gym go-er with no motivation.

Feeling fat, inflexible and lazy I decided that it was time to make some changes and get my A back into G.

So my new regime started today. I went online and purchased some DIY at home Pilates DVD’s and have made an unbreakable pact with myself that every morning will begin with a Pilates workout. Nothing too crazy, just some simple exercises to get my metabolism started and my muscles thinking about doing something.

I really hope that with my morning Pilates and afternoon gym we will be seeing some differences – mental and physical.

I have to say though – I have missed Pilates, it really is amazing and makes me feel great! OK its not completely the same without my instructor Sandy pushing me that little bit further and making me realize that I actually can bend my body like a pretzel, but its better than nothing.

So I hope to have regular updates of my progress and my experience – for now however . . . wish me luck!
