Pilates

I was roped into a pilates class last night.
Full of women, only one other guy and he was a woman too.
Didn't want to go.

I'm not unfit, or at least I thought not. They had me doing things that seemed easy to look at, but after an hour believe me they weren't.

Interestingly my spine is definitely more flexible today. :)
Think I'll go again.

Anyone else try this

I tried it once and limped home I am afraid. It is supposed to be uber good for flexibility though :)

I'm a Sports Therapist by trade, and Pilates was recommended to me to straighten my 'core'; I'll give it a go, one day!

Tai Chi is good for your 'core', if you have back problems it's a lot less stress on the bones and muscles
