No Pilates for Me :(

Feb 16, 2011

When I was in college, I bought 2 of the Mari Windsor Pilates tapes and my roommate and I tried to do them... occassionally... the fact that neither of us had very strong abdominals made the "Advanced Sculpting" video impossible and very, very discouraging. The 20 minute video I could do all but one exercise and I really enjoyed it (I just had troule getting started, but loved it when I was doing it).

Now, I can do almost all those annoying "power house challenging" exercises. BUT I can't do any that require me to roll on my tailbone. Due to even less padding down there, I can't roll my tailbone on the floor! Its hurts like hell, and I'm gonna have a bruised a$$ tomorrow! I had no idea it stuck out so much now... whereas i once could balance happily on my sitting bones (ishium, i believe?) now such a balance cannot exist, I am a freaking tripod! This can't be normal!

Now I have to find someone who first owns a VCR still and second acually enjoys pilates to take them off my hands. Do I have any takers?

I'll be sticking to Jillian Michaels and belly dancing videos from here on out. Sigh.
