I avoided the Yoga instructor tonight and headed to the Pilates class instead!  Boy is my butt sore! 

Pilates is a body conditioning routine that helps not only build your flexibility, but also your strength, endurance, and coordination in the legs, abdominals, arms and back.  

It emphasizes your core (your inner middle) strength and your stability. Since I am trying to work on these, pilates makes sense! 


So what I learned tonight was that when you perform your exercises, be sure to avoid quick, jerky movements. Every movement you do should be slow, but still strong and flexible because the movements are designed to flow like a dance.
