Session 13

Yet another thing I love about Pilates is that it does not get boring. I would say for my first few sessions on the various apparatuses Kelly had me go through the same routine so that I was comfortable with the exercises and the breathing, but by the fourth and fifth session she changed it up a bit. Kelly either started me on the Cadillac then moved me to the reformer or vice versa; or she added in new exercises. During part of my session this evening I used the tower. The tower is multi-functional. It can be used for mat work, or the springs and bar can be used for various leg and arm work. Today when I used the tower, Kelly attached the bar and springs so that I could do the footwork series. Until now we had only done the footwork series on the reformer. By doing the series on the tower it engages my muscles a different way and reiterates the importance of focus as I practice Pilates.
