Pilates notes
I keep forgetting to mention another Pilates benefit: I do the work in gym shorts and a t-shirt, and the mirrored wall is merciless to the notion that I’m at a good weight.
But mainly I wanted to note that this evening, after three sessions, I noticed that I noticed how I was standing, and stood differently. It was an odd feeling, and I don’t know exactly what I’m doing, but I’m certainly aware of things of which I previously was completely unaware: the way the muscles in my trunk and legs are tensed, and even the existence of various small muscles until the soreness after the second day set in. We didn’t do anything at all strenuous, but clearly a bunch of little muscles were getting the workout of their tapioca-pudding lives.
At any rate, if I’m starting to feel the stance and movement of my muscles after just three sessions, this promises to be a very interesting course.
