Spent the first time on the reformer machine at pilates class. Dang that thing kicked my ass! Whoot! But I think I may be in love with it. First of all, the machine showed me where all my weak muscles are-mostly around my tum-tum area-and it was so much easier to feel the isolation of your muscles. Plus, the second you do it wrong, your machine starts shifting around on the floor, so you know right away whether or not to adjust your movement. You have to make all your movements slow and deliberate to get the full effect and I'm definitely feelin' it. The sad thing? ST - Return of the Drip, rehearsals start in April and I won't be able to do the more advanced class til the end of the run. Back to mat for me. Oh well.
I swear, one of these days, I'll get to writing more interesting/informative blog entries. Stay tuned!

Hi Penny - "Torquemada. Do not ask him for forgiveness. Let's face it, you can't Torquemada anything!" I knew the title of your post sounded familiar.....
