October 4- MTV Pilates

Today was really great because we did Pilates and I absolutely LOVE Pilates! We used a DVD made my MTV and it was cool because it had three different people working at different levels so when there was something I had never done before I could follow the easier level until i felt comfortable enough to try the harder positions. The workout started with my personal favorite - the Pilates 100.  I like this workout because you immediately feel the blood circulating throughout your body and you're really warmed up. I also really liked the leg circles and lifts because I feel my legs working as well as my abs in order to keep my balance. Some of the workouts were pretty hard though, like when we had our legs up in the air and were doing curl ups. That definitely tested my balance and core strength. The ending was pretty difficult too because of the fast pace. We ended with the Pilates push up- where we had to do a push up then walk up to feet with our hands, roll up then back down to do more push ups. It was hard but I liked how I felt really stretched out afterwards and that's what I love about Pilates! It's a great workout but you don't feel completely exhausted after!
