What do you do for exercise? :confuse2: My usual workout (when I remember to make myself do it) is an hour long combination of aerobics/yoga/kick boxing, which has me sweating like crazy before it's all over, or if it's nice I go for a 2 mile walk/jog with my dogs, or ride horses. I thought these were the perfect workouts, but yesterday I tried pilates for the first time and now I've got muscles that I didn't even know I had that are KILLING me! :eek: I'll have to keep it up now...I'm a person that needs a nice mix of workouts or I get bored really fast. So...do any of you do pilates? How about yoga? |
i have pilates but havnt done it in a while n id like to try yoga just never have |
:eyetearss :eyetearss :eyetearss :eyetearss :eyetearss I carry Roxy (5lbs) and TJ (7lbs) up and down the stairs - everyday - all day and all night long.... |
I walk or run two miles or use the elliptical for 30 minutes about 4 days a week. I'd like to lift weights and stuff like that but doing that is so boring so I just do cardio. |
I do strength training with bands, balls and weights. |
exercise I go to water arobic's 3 times a week...and spinning once..an hour of spinning at 61 is a killer, but I love it. |
Belly Dancing and I've taken a few classes in Pole Dancing that were VERY challenging but totally fun :) |
Shannon - I am a yoga and pilates instructor. Where did you take pilates? You SHOULD NOT be sore from a well instructed pilates class. You will feel muscles you didn't know existed, but you shouldn't hurt. In fact, you should be energized following a class, and go to bed thinking you will be sore, but feel great in the morning. If you hurt, either your instructor isn't teaching correctly, you aren't doing the moves correctly or a combination of the two. Please make sure your instructors are always certified in pilates, not just a fitness instructor thinking they understand the principles of pilates. I teach twelve classes a week, plus teach private clients on the pilates reformer and wunda chair. So, I really don't work out beyond teaching, though I should really be doing my own yoga daily.... |
Me again.... If you are using a video for pilates and you are truly sore, you are definitely not doing the moves correctly. IMO, most of the videos out there do a lousy job at cueing and instruction, particularly for those people who have never taken a class with an instructor. The only video I recommend is The Method, Pilates Precision Toning and Sculpting with Jennifer Kreis. Very good, detailed instruction throughout. |

And Belly Dancing.....I worked w/ a girl (long ago) that took classes and she had a blast....lost some weight and had fun! I have never tried it though! I run/walk on the treadmill and on warmer days, it is walking outside (we have our own hiking trail). I also have several workout videos that we switch back and forth with - keeps us from getting bored. |
I've heard that the Carmen Electra pole dancing one is fun! I don't have it, but a friend of mine does. I'm going to try to borrow it from her, just to mix things up a bit. :) |
i do high intensity interval training for 20 minutes 4 times aweek...and 3 days a week full body workouts w/ heavy weights. |

I don't have stairs but I do, at times, carry Gabby (16 pounds) and Gage (9 pounds) through the house - mostly Gage. I also get mine from carrying laundry baskets, pushing/pulling a vacuum cleaner, walking to my car each day (to work, home from work, etc), and all the "running" I do at work. My hands are my strongest - from all the lurking and typing I do at YT! |
