Pilates

I've said before that I like doing Pilates. That is true, but I've majorly slacked lately. Partly because I haven't felt well and partly because I am so sick of my DVD. It's a Denise Austin Pilates DVD. It's a good workout, but her voice was about to push me over the edge. I've had it for like 5 years so I'm totally over it. And, no one should be as excited and get as much pleasure out of working out as she does. Anyway, I've been moaning about hating my DVD and wishing I had some new workout things. Dustin surprised me with a new DVD that comes with resistance bands. I was very excited because I hate spending money on things like that. This is the DVD he bought me: It has 5 ten minute workouts. They are upper body, lower body, abs, total body, and flexibility. I did the upper body, lower body, and abs workout today. I've never used the resistance bands before. Let me just say, they are wonderful!! Anyone that does Pilates knows that you have to be precise in your movements or it's just not effective. The bands make you be precise and of course they make the workout much more intense. And the best part is, I can do one 10 minute session if I'm short on time or I can do all 5 if I'm feeling hardcore that day!
