My new workout includes a lot of leg-heavy exercises and last night, my body was telling me it just wasn't happening... I think the importance of a diverse workout cannot be underestimated. Neither can the importance of really listening to what your body is telling you. It's taken me a long time to learn the difference between "No, no, stop! I'm tiiiiired" (read that with the appropriate whine) and "No, no, stop! Something isn't right -- or is about to not be right." I think everyone who loves something else can benefit from adding Pilates -- and everyone who loves Pilates can probably benefit from doing something else as well. To wit.

My core feels a lot tighter and I've been getting a workout in my hip area that I think will help with agility. I'm confused why the title of this article is "Porta-Pilates." I really think it would be hard to do pilates in the porta potties. Maybe that's a new challenge...

It was pretty intense, and given my propensity for throwing my back out every year or so, it seems like a good solution for my terrible core strength/posture problem. Now, if I could only get myself out the door and running again...sigh.
