I also forgot to mention how sore I was from kickboxing! My entire back felt it the next morning but I ran regardless. Today I knew I needed to stretch out all my muscles so when I saw there was a Pilate's class at 8:15 I signed up right away. I woke up to my 6:00 am internal alarm clock and had some coffee. I had time to fit in a 30 minute cardio session on the elliptical then went into the class.
The Pilate's class was very different from the one I took at the studio. This one was free because I am a member of the gym. At my gym we do not have Pilate machines so it was all body weight and we used a roller in ways I never have before.While working the core we were working the legs too. Lots of leg circles and butt-ups that really had my legs and glutes screaming! It was a very calm class though no one was screaming over an intercom, no loud music. It was super relaxing. I was able to focus on my breathing and my core muscles much more than at the other Pilate's class!
I am so happy I took this class, it made me really enjoy Pilate's. We finished up with the roller, I think I rolled my entire body with that thing. I usually use it on my knees but we rolled our back (so good), arms, legs, and glutes!
For breakfast I had 1 egg and egg whites, I paired it with my new favorite cracker! The flax crackers Ener-G sent me. They're a perfect snack for anytime of day. They're a new product that's gluten-free, wheat-free, dairy-free, nut-free, and yeast-free crackers made with rice flour and flax meal. Oh and 10 crackers are only 90 calories!
