After a lovely day spent with Her Royal Darling (Libby), I was more than ready for my pilates apparatus class. It is really fun. I think people are either yoga people or pilates people, and I am definitely one of the pilates people. I like the mechanical aspects of it--yoga seems more spirtual. Not that there's anything wrong with that!!!! I love yoga too, but pilates is easier. More systematic. You don't have to try to achieve inner peace, just optimal fitness. Just grit your teeth and suffer. Of course there's less suffering with the apparatus, though it does feel sort of torture chambery hitching yourself up to the rack. And the rack is called "the reformer", appealing to the part of me that wants to repent and do better.
For a much less idiosynchratic look at pilates, go to www.stottpilates.com
Liver gem of the day: For a lighthearted, but very informative, look at what your liver does, and how you can take good care of it, go to www.liverfoundation.org and search for How Can You Love Me If You Don't Know Me?
