WOW. I’ve Discovered Pilates
I’ve been an exerciser for most of my life. I started with Yoga in high school. From there I went to swimming, running, aerobics with Jane Fonda, Callenetics, Yoga with Racquel Welch, Step, Body for Life, elliptical, treadmill, and Water Gym . . . I love exercise, and I’ve done a lot of different types. But nothing has ever changed my body the way Pilates is changing it.
On my first visit to the studio the instructor saw I had an unstable SI joint. My lower back has bothered me for a lot of years, and no one was ever able to figure out why. One session on the Reformer and the pain was almost gone. I was impressed. I continue to be impressed with the sessions we’re doing on the Reformer and the Cadillac. I’m being stretched in ways I didn’t know I could stretch, I’m getting stronger and I’m standing taller. I’m striding the Earth. Yowsa.

I’ve been doing Pilates for 20 years and teaching for 18. Rehabbed myself through car accidents, abdominal surgeries, etc. (I too have an unstable SI joint). Still walking tall and feeling great! It really does work and really is fun. Glad you are enjoying Pilates.
