Sex toy? Exercise equipment? Torture device?
Our YMCA has a boutique location that has small, specialized classes that include pilates on the reformer. I have been going now for three or four weeks and the class size has been just me or one other person. I love it. I love the personal attention. I know I am doing it correctly and she has been tailoring the workouts to what I need as a runner. For example, last night.
I have mentioned to my instructor that I don't have a lot of hip strength and I would love to get my inner thighs tiny enough again to wear booty shorts while running. She listened. Last night we worked on inner and outer thighs as well as hip strength the whole.damn.class! It started with the magic circle, aka, the circle of death.
This magic circle is used in all kinds of torturous ways. Usually we put it between our ankles or our knees and squeeze it while we're doing all kinds of core exercises. Last night we used this almost the entire class. We also put our legs through it and used it to strengthen the outer thigh by pushing out with it while doing some other exercise. Oh, and she wasn't done there. We also stood on the reformer and the carriage and slid one leg out sideways with the springs on to strengthen the inner and outer thigh and hips. It was so hard and yet so awesome. I came out of the class with jello legs but feeling strong and ready to tackle the world.
Booty shorts!!!
