Pilates!

[Aubergine]

I'm booked in at the gym to do a pilates class tomorrow afternoon. I keep booking and cancelling due to my brain being a troll, but I'm really going to try and go tomorrow!


Has anyone done pilates? What's it like? Any experiences welcome! (And encouragement to actually attend would also be welcome...)

I haven't actually attended a pilates class and probably never will so I will do the encouraging thing

EGGPLANT GO TO PILATES

[Isoverity]

I saw Pilates of the Caribbean but not the sequels

[what_the?]

Go, have fun, it'll be ace!

I'm rubbish at Pilates, but I go every Sunday and my flexibility has definitely improved. I'm more of a body balancer, but even that I'm crap at!

There's loads of different types, but the instructor should give you options and just work at your own pace.

I can't wait to hear how it went!

Thanks Zombie. You should come with me next time. :P


I went and it was really good! I was TERRIBLE at it and my glasses kept falling off (I could not see what to do without them on - argument for contacts?!) The instructor was nice though and I could definitely feel myself working. Instructor kept coming over to me and telling me what I was doing wrong so I didn't break myself. :P


Will definitely do it again! :)

[what_the?]

Excellent! I'm really glad it went well. Not breaking yourself is definitely a bonus.

Definitely contact lenses if you're going to become a gym bunny! I live in perpetual fear of becoming that instructor from the specsavers advert if I ever forget mine...

Thanks! :)


Hehe. That would be a bit embarrassing. :P


I've never liked the thought of contacts. It would be weird to wear my prescription goggles on dry land though, so maybe I'll have to consider it...
