Pilates

This week to get my 5 points I decided to try a pilates class at my gym. I guess I didn't really know what pilates were, because I did not expect this class to be so stinkin hard!! I think I was expecting something more like yoga. This pilates class used so many core muscles and plank positions and sit up variations that I was totally wiped by the end. After a long pregnancy and c-section recovery of not using my abs, my core strength right now is pretty much zilch. I have been feeling it in my abs, glutes, hip flexors, and hamstrings BIG time all week! Good thing my personal goal was to do some serious stretching every day. I needed it!! But you know, even though it was hard, I was really proud of myself for doing it and I did actually enjoy the class. Even if I had to modify practically everything. :-P

What new exercise did you ladies try?
