Re: Friday - walk & pilates

Great job, as usual, Donna!! I saw frost this morning and they're talking about snow here soon too. It is not unusual for us to get some on Halloween but of course, we always hope we won't. Last year was gorgeous, I hope this year is nice too.

Tell me about the squishy ball used in the pilates workout (the workout sounds really good too). I've seen it used in another workout, but can't remember which one now. What is it, where do you get it, why use it, and can I modify something to make it into a squishy ball (that would work) without spending money on another piece of equipment?

Thanks!

Friday - walk & pilates

Hi Everyone!

It is cold here today, and, we may actually get a little snow tomorrow - this is really unusual! Of course, it is the "fall fun day' at my DD's school - so couldn't pick a worse time for bad weather since it is outdoors and my DD has been looking forward to it the entire school year! Oh well - hopefully it won't be too nasty out there - I'm not prepared for real cold yet. For my workout today I did the walking audio from Body Gospel. I liked it - it had 4 gospel songs w/ some motivational talk from Donna interspersed throughout. My only gripe was that it was only 20 minutes. I think the literature from BB says it is 30 mintues. So, I did it twice and walked a tad over 3 miles (close to or just over 3.3 miles) in 40 minutes. After that, I did the 20 min workout from the new Element Pilates workout (the one that uses the squishy ball). I really, really liked it - it wasn't the same old, same old Pilates routine! There was also a good deal of work that focused on stretching the hamstrings and hip flexors - which I really need! I'm looking forward to trying the 30 min routine.Other than that - busy day today - Halloween events at my DD's school, plus the usual, work, housework, etc.TGIF!

Good workout Donna. WOW on the snow. I hate to even hear that word already.

Have a great weekend.

Hmmmm... sounds very interesting... I'll have to keep my eye open for the kit and for a ball that I can partially deflate! I wish I could remember which workout I saw them use one in, I'll probably come up with at 2 in the morning and then forget before I wake up for good! ;-) Thanks, Donna!
