So, I’m out of shape. I need to get in shape. There is very little that could cause me to visit a gym with lots of boring machines on a regular basis. Really. The boredom factor, mixed with lots of grunting men and fake and baked women just completely does not work for me. Activities work a lot better. Pilates appeals because, conceivably, once I learn a bit, it is something I can do alone or in a group, and because I like the idea of core strengthening and posture help.

So, as luck would have it, I’ve been able to start in on this one already. It turns out that a City of Toronto Parks and Rec pilates class started this evening, around the corner from my house! I spent about 20 minutes on hold with the City’s recreation phone line to set up an account on my lunch hour, registered immediately, and stopped to buy a yoga mat on the way home from work.
The class is nice and small, and she started us off fairly light, as none of us were proficient. I’m a little sore, and imagine that I’ll be more sore by tomorrow morning, but I feel really good about getting this underway. The class is going to last for 8 weeks, so we’re now well on the way with this particular thing.
