I went to my first Pilates class today (for over fifties). Its a course of ten weeks and I want to make the best use of it and learn well. I know its only the first week but I already feel a little out of my depth! We went through everything so quickly and I cant remember half of it and I wanted to practice at home so consolidate my learning. We were concentrating on basic moves focusing on the neutral spine. I understood most of what I was supposed to be doing but it seemed like I needed to be thinking about a lot of things all at the same time. And I kept forgetting to breath. In fact i think I was holding my breath through a lot of it. I feel a bit achy now (around my middle). I guess that means I was doing it right/wrong? I hope I catch on a bit quicker next week. Ho hum.
