What a lovely story, especially the end! I’ve been doing a little bit of pilates too, and it’s really effective. Good luck and think of the results during the hard parts!

I have to agree with Lunasa. At the start it really is a killer but it does get easier. And I signed up for the exact same reasons as you! It´s good to know I´m not alone.Do you use pilates “exercise machines” or is it only floor work you do? I “suffer” just like you when it comes to trying new exercises in class or just knowing my left from my right. I thought it was because of my Spanish that I was making these mistakes but my bf (who is Spanish) told me he does the same thing. Needless to say we have become pretty infamous in the pilates centre!

I picked up a card for the Pilates chick from the chiropractor’s office.

Does that count?

I’m still trying to get the cross-country machine at the gym. I’m feeling you on the “Wait, which one is left?” thing… Have no idea how I passed gym in school. None.

It all gets easier over time. After a lot of classes, I don’t even cringe (that much) now when they mention the 100. Still can’t see those muscles, but I know they’re there :)
