Well, after a nice weekend away from home, where I ate too much and had too many liquid calories, it is back to the gym for me! Luckily, Monday is a day where I do a tough workout to get me ramped up for the week. Please see my routine below and calories burned:
45 Minutes Cardio Step 288 Calories Burned
45 Minutes Pilates 105 Calories Burned
Total calories burned 393
One of the things I really love about Pilates is how it works your whole body, especially your core. However, one of the keys to working your whole body and your core is to squeeze all those muscles tight during your entire workout. If you don't engage each muscle group when you are using it, you will not see the results that you want. It is also important to remember to breathe during your pilates workout. My instructor is good about letting us know which part of the move we should be inhaling on and which part we should be exhaling on. I think most home DVD's will give you the same information.
Good luck this week with your workouts and eating healthy. I'm going to work on getting lots of fruits and veggies. Some of my veggies will even come from my garden!
