I'm hoping I'll start lol.  That's why I put them here in one place so I can access it all easily.  I think Pilates is great.  Join me!

That, however, is no longer the case.  Talk about the winter of our discontent.  It about ruined me.  And while I knew what I was doing, I plain just didn't care.  Oops.

So, here it is, near a year later.  My hips don't work so hot, but I'm determined to make them better because not being in decent shape simply isn't me.

Oh drat.

Good luck with that.  I hear you.
I tweaked my back about 10 days ago. STILL taking very good care of it.
Amazing, I did very little to cause this, am 'better than average' fitness for a 59 year old and VERY aware of posture when lifting, stretching  etc etc etc .  5 seconds of an unmindful action and 'PTANG'.

Is isometrics ok for your upper torso at this stage ?
