My pilates teacher was not nice tonight.

It must be something in the air. I had a personal training session tonight as a present for doing well at the gym. This morning I hurt!

again this morning, at this rate I'm going to end up with webbed feet.

We had to do squats with one foot on a ball ... Given how tired my legs were this week they weren't as bad as I was expecting... Maybe we did fewer of them than normal. She has made us do those tiptoe squats before!)

I had to use a ball too, I had to do this roll out thing to stretch out my back. Owwww

It's your age dear, welcome to the club

I must say, I now can't bend down without making a noise!!!

We did several and lots of squats on tip toe.

It's really not nice.

Now I am glad for only doing squats with arm raises.

The worst piece of equipment which I absolutely hate is the roller which our teacher makes us lie on while we do stuff normally done on lovely soft mats.

I make that a challenge sometimes ; moving without sound effects!

Never used a roller, she only has those small balls you use to destabilise yourself when doing an exercise and the rubber bands that I love for stretching my leg muscles!

I was scared sitting on the yoga ball last night. I have to get over the fact that I will not break/burst things. She had me doing all sorts of stretches on it. It was scary but good at the same time.

The ball we use is about the size of a football, and it's used lots of ways, under a foot, or both hands, tucked in your back when half reclining, in between your legs to get your pelvic floor muscles working, or best of all - you loose control of your ball, it rolls off and you get a crafty 30 sec break whilst you retrieve it I'm good at that one!

Morning. Do you have to be a sadist to teach these classes?

I expect so.... But you probably have to be fairly deranged to keep paying to go back for more torture!

A bit of blue sky thinking. It's grey at the moment.

We were meant to have that today. It's chucking it down instead, which is fitting as I'm still in a rather gloomy headspace. Good thing I "accidentally" over-ordered chocolate and ice cream on the last Sainsbury's order.
