Week 1, Session 3 - Body by Faye

The third session went well. We trained in the Alameda studio. I noticed instantly that Pilates is actually less work when the machines are involved. The mat class we did for session two was the hardest one yet. I think because I had to do all the work. With the machines, I was receiving guidance and support.

One of the things I like the most about Pilates is that it works my coordination and I must be concentrating fiercely while working out. If I don't pay attention to detail, I get confused. I'm not a detail-oriented person so this definitely a challenge for me. One of my favorite things so far about working with Faye at her Bayside Pilates studio in Alameda is listening to Faye's voice and closing my eyes while doing my exercises. It is my own private meditation.

Today is a mat class in my office. I'm sure it will be a tough one. I have yet to experience anything that would make me think otherwise.
