My box of books from London has arrived! Hurrah!

I have a cold. Boo!

It seems mild. Phew!

We are considering Pilates, is this wise?

She Stoops to Conquer is more amusing than I remembered. *Covets the fashions*

Yay books!

Boo cold!

I started doing yoga recently and am really liking it. I don't know about Pilates.

*goes to google She Stoops To Conquer*

Pilates done properly is a grand thing - but you do need to make sure your instructor is good. I've done a class every week for a year now, and am finding it counteracts some of the damage I do to myself from sitting at the computer all day. It doesn't replace aerobic exercise - you won't get fit - but you will be more flexible and have better core strength.

Ah, Pilates. Makes me think of Corner Gas and the town's difficulty with exercise classes named after the man who killed Jesus.

Have fun reading the books and I hope the cold will go away soon! :3

Books!!

I too have a cold. Boo-hiss!

Mine also seems mild, though I'm wearing a sweatshirt and am slathered in Vicks Vapor Rub, despite the 70 degree weather.

Pilates! I've actually contemplated it as well. I tried yoga but didn't care for it much.

Hope you feel better!!

Pilates is pretty amazing. Like yoga on steroids. I'm a fan of both.

I'm a convert to Pilates. I'd look for a physiotherapy practice that offers studio classes. That way you get an assessment from a physiotherapist first, who will design your program to suit your needs (accounting for taxi smashed bits etc..). Also means you're supervised during the sessions to make sure you're doing the exercises correctly.

Pilates has done wonders for me, so I'd heartily recommend it.

HURRAH for pilates - well you know that I love it, and encourage people to try it all the time - can't think WHY I never suggested it to you.....
So - does the place you're going to try have the equipment as well as matwork? Mr Brammers would love the equipment - there is THE REFORMER, THE TRAP TABLE/CADILLAC and *cue ominous music* THE CHAIR......
Had a session today and did most of my work on a new type of chair (Felicia calls it the elctric chair) - it has a back you see and when you put the handles in (to do step-ups and dips etc), it looks kind of frightening...... my abs are starting to grizzle from working so hard today :)
