Pilates?
 

I plan to start walkin once this stupid storm is gone. But in addition to that I'd love to start doin Pilates.

My best friend told me its a little less stressful on your back. Is that true?

Pilates is really good - and makes your core feel strong and you feel leaner - it helps you loose inches.


But if you're looking for something a little less strenuous on your back you might want to try exercises on the stability ball. It actually feels great on my back.

I had a former love for Pilates but now I'm switching to the ball. Let me know if you have any questions!

Yea. I sorta need something that wont put as much stress on my back.

What is this stability ball? LOL I've never heard of it. Is it something I can get somewhere in town?

Oh wait, boyfriend said that its the ball they put between me and the wall when I had physical therapy. (I just asked him :dizzy: )

Thats a good idea...may have to look into that...

When i was in physical therapy they had me put it between me and the wall and made me do squats....Hmmm..

Thanks.

Pilates will help you develop strength in you back, but you might actually find that it puts strain on your back at first. I know when I started I had to do the beginner or modified poses because my back and abs weren't strong enough.

I think the Crunch Pilates video is really good. It's pretty simple too. But like the person above said, the stability ball works great too.
