Find that C-curve

I stared taking private Pilates lessons last week to help improve my fitness level and bad back. I have never taken pilates, but have heard wonderful things about it. I must say, after only four sessions, I am a believer.

I was molded into positions I never knew were possible and then had to roll up and hold while maintaining my C-curve, pressing down my tail-bone, keeping my legs straight, pressing my palms down, and breathing in and out.  Insert stressed out, WHAT?!?! emoji here...

I felt like a crazy person bending and folding. Man did it hut. I thought I was pretty fit until my first Pilates lesson. I was humbly reminded of how unfit I really am. Seriously, at one point during my first session I cried, literal tears were coming down my face. My poor instructor must think I am crazy!

The next day I felt SO SORE!!!!! OUCH, my body has never been so achy. This was proof that I had engaged muscles that had not been used in a while.

At my second session my body moved much easier through the moves and I felt more confident. I wasn't perfect but my muscles were loosened and ready for what was ahead.  By my fourth session I was given harder challenges and have continued to feel "the burn".

I am so excited to see my body change and transform over the coming weeks and get stronger. Who knows, maybe I will actually have abs?

Remember to refresh yourself,
