March 11
My neck's sore which is rare. I had a different pilates instructor last night--one who didn't remind me how to breathe but worked me out a little more than my last one, who didn't do a good enough job monitoring me to make sure I was using the right muscles I think, and one who looked like Nicole Kidman with red hair and who I wish I could look like from doing pilates.
My friend mentioned she tried pilates once but didn't like it because it strained her abs so much which made me wonder because I hadn't strained my abs much at all during my first session. All through pilates yesterday my instructor kept asking me how I felt after each exercise and sometimes I'd feel a little bit of stomach burn but more often than not, I wouldn't and I think that's what she was expecting. My neck did hurt a couple of times and I think I used my neck muscles more than I should have doing some of the exercises. I'm not sure I'm understanding how to do the exercises properly yet--anyone have any recommendations?

Sounds kinda crappy. People should do aerobics instead, or just sit on their arse and watch cartoons, like me.
