I had a good week. Work was hard this week, but I had a positive attitude, and that helped me work through it.

I did some good things this week:

–I did yoga everyday – focusing on both asanas and pranayama. It is refreshing me. I am seriously researching yoga teacher training, and this gives me a new excitement. I feel that the best way to prepare myself for this is to fully immerse myself in it…

–I read three books this week. Two were about yoga / meditation, and one was about voluntary simplicity. I learned a valuable lesson from each book.

–I ate delicious whole foods this week that I prepared with my own hands.

–I exercised everyday; the aforementioned yoga, as well as hiking on Monday, weightlifting on Tuesday, Pilates on Wednesday, Row machine on Thursday, and Spinning on Friday. Today was a day of rest. Tomorrow is the Weekend Hike…

–I got a haircut on Wednesday, and a bonus head massage from my sweet stylist.

–I went out for brunch with Kris today. It was lovely. We have a date tonight to see a movie. This makes me happy!

–I knit 8 inches on my sister’s cardigan today. Her birthday is in 16 days.

–I wore my cozy black turtleneck sweater and stayed nice and warm all day.

I end this week happy.

Question by Lindsay W: Experienced pilates trainers…question for you..?
I work out a great deal. I’m a swimmer and I have always lifted weights, I have a really nice body but I am wanting to do some serious sculpting. I look really fit and get compliments, but I wanted to be more lean and sleek…I heard pilates does this. I want to try it, it is not offered at my gym or anywhere around my area. I want to get a reformer pilates machine because I heard it offers more resistance, and honestly, I’m scared to do any mat exercises because I have been working out so hard I need to keep up my activity level or I’m afraid I will go too far in the opposite direction and get more unfit. What should I look for in a pilates machine? What books/dvds offer the best, most difficult and most thorough workout? I’m not too stupid to understand good form, so I don’t think I need a teacher persay, I just need good information. Also, I should maintain my cardio routine even once I pick up pilates, isn’t that true?

I’m not a pilates trainer, but I wouldn’t recommend a pilates machine.

Have you checked out Beach Body workouts? 6 week workouts that can kick your butt! I’d suggest starting with Slim in 6. You can add these in to your regular workout schedule.

I’m not affiliated with the company, I just really like their dvds and have friends who’ve had great results with them also. 😉
