Pilates, yes? no? maybe.

I went to a pilates class on Tuesday. A Tickle quiz had once said that pilates was the perfect exercise for me. This class was sponsored by the local health department. It's within 1 mile of my home. It's FREE!! It was relaxing. I'd need to do some aerobics at some point. Maybe I could walk to class and walk back? I'll hold that thought.

I'm as critical about other people's bodies as I am about my own. That causes issues. I feel guilty because I have this thing about exercise instructors. I want them to LOOK like the exercise is working for them. I want them to be lean and healthy looking. I think that's part of the reason I never purchased a Richard Simmons tape. After all that sweating would I really still want to be pudgy? Anyway, the class is at the right time, it's in a good place, it has low attendance, it's FREE!!, it was slow and relaxing to the point that I could count it as my meditation time. So will I add it to my regular Tuesday schedule?

I'll go this next week and in the mean time read some more about what I'm supposed to get out of it. I'll also check back at the book store. The last time I was there I saw an inexpensive (on clearance) pilates kit. Why don't I just work out at home? What is the source of my resistance?? Am I alone in my apparent laziness? Am I waiting for my body to reach an unbelievable weight? I should spend some time with these questions.
