Tuesday Pilates

Today Judy was not there, and we had a new teacher and she was sooooooo petit petit and sooo muscular, but not in a bad way, I was just mesmerized by her muscle body. Her legs and arms and abs and the whole works. She looked like she was in her middle forty's and I was just stunned. The amount of strength that she had was amazing to me. She did pilates a la east coast as she said, that they were freakishly rapid, and we in the west coast did pilates freakishly mellow! So she did a lot of exercises that if you saw them you wouldn't think they were hard to do or maintain, but oh boy you started and you were dead. She did a lot of movements like the tiger would do...clutching and just very easy well they look easy, but try to do them and yeah right.....the incredible thing that I find is that you actually do this and you move with your body type of pilates/yoga and the strenght that you require to do it, it is very hard if you are heavy, because you are lifting more weight...seriously it makes you reflect and really wonder why we those of us heavy are heavy and what a lack of respect that is for yourself.....I just need to digest this...and ponder it......Amazing work out.
