Pilates class ... where 11 seconds can seem like an eternity!

Haha, I'm so glad you posted this. I feel adequately warned before I try a class!

My Pilates class was different. Big windows and mirrors, plenty of light. No Mamacita pep talk, although she did talk about her newborn and didn't seem that interested in teaching. No individual instruction or pointers, just went through the motions. Still, I loved working on the Reformer. In the future I will look for reviews or get a personal reference to get the most bang for my buck.

Hilarious, I'm glad I just do pilates at home with a band.

LOL! Spot on! I've hated Pilates from the first time I ever tried it (thanks, Ana Caban!). "Sooo hard and sooo boring." Yup!

I have other workouts that sneak Pilates-type movements in and I can tolerate that. But, if even looks like they're starting with The Hundred - it gets Joni O'd ASAP!

The Hundred is an exercise I will skip religiously. I absolutely hate it!

I feel that way about most ab work, it kills my lower back. But I don’t mind the 100 as much because it doesn’t tweak my lower back. Then again, I don’t do it very often!
