winsor pilates/baron baptiste yoga

February 6, 2005

hi everyone!

today was pilates and yoga day!

for pilates i chose to do winsor pilates: 20 minute workout

ive done this one alot in the past, but not recently.

it seemed too easy except for one move -- the seal.

this is similar to 'rolling like a ball' except you tap your heels together

three times while you are rolled back and then it is hard to get rolled

forward again, where you are supposed to do another three heel taps. the

heel taps obviously remove the momentum that one gets going with rolling

like a ball, forcing you to really use your powerhouse to roll forward. i

need to practice this move and hope that it is part of winsor's accelerated

workout which i want to do the next time i do winsor pilates.

for yoga, i chose to do baron baptiste's 'power yoga : Level 1 the initial

challenge' which is a dvd that laura sent to me! (because she hates

baron...LOL) thankyou again laura i did only the first 20 minute

routine which is all sun salutations and is supposed to be

energizing. there are two other routines on the dvd -- the 3 together

create a 50 minute routine, i think it is. anyway, doing sun salutations

over and over gets to be kind of boring but i didnt seem to mind today. i

was really concentrating on form and getting a good stretch. i felt great

afterward, i think that it did energize me. i like baron except for his

use of 'people' all of the time (which ive said before and everyone agreed

with me about this habit of his).

tomorrow is cardio and upper body.

im going to do floor aerobics with charles harris -- i expect that this is

20 minutes of easy stuff... i will let you know what i think about it but

im not expecting to get a really fabulous workout out of this one :/ for

upper body im going to do power half hour arm toner with tony horton and

his cute friend bobby and i know that i already love this 30 mins of

upper body weights.

:*carolyn.
