Let's kick some butt with pilates

Remember I wanted to do some "workout" just to toned up? At the end, I know my self best, I won't make it at the gym ( tried that before) because , there are a lot my excuses not to go ( weather, schedules, timing etc) . So far I like the idea of working out at home. And I got some tips to search the PILATES video on youtube.

And so far, I love it. I've just been doing this for over a week , And I did it gradually . And I found it to be wonderful.

So here are some of my favorite pilates videos that I do alternately ( still building my stamina and resistance and I don't want to injure my back )

My personal fave is the 10 min abs workout and the butt and arms workouts!

If only I can get a treadmill for my house!!!

Finding motivation

Yes, I've been blabbing lately about getting better in shape by working out. I am thinking to join a gym. Still looking and considerate about where to go with a friend. We need some advice from a trainer if possible to find the movement that we should do with the equipment , in order to hit the right problem area in a efficiency of time. If that is not possible, maybe I would google about the right movement to tone up upper body part, and tone our "ass et" and keep those flabby thigh tight and nice. As we grow older the gravity tends to pull it downward.

But if finding a gym is not possible ( read as LAZY-ness attack back) I would prefer to buy this DVD and work it out from home
It has a positive review and I think it is quiet affordable , It comes with 3 dvd and sold separately. LINK and LINK
The most important for work out DVD it has to be fun! My first work out dvd was the Cindy Crawford's about 15 years ago. And I did join gym also but not regularly.


As years passed , we think about our health more and more. I know that I will need to exercise to improve my stamina, improve blood circulation and body resistance. I am not into getting thinner or concentrate on to loose some lbs. I don't want to be a weak person that will feel completely worn out after just a few hours of activities. I want to feel a good about my self, specially with 2 young active girls. I don't want to turn up to be a weak and lazy mom by the time I will be 40. Eating healthy and cut off some empty calories also will be great .

Another way to motivate me is to buy some "cool" sport outfit, shoes, and maybe I-pod? hahaha.... well I can use my mobile phone to listen to music. So if I can keep to working out for a while I can, maybe, award my self with an i pod? Well enough with wishlist, but a great and upbeat music sure will boast our spirit to move and work it out!

Talking ( emailing) to a friend in France about this lately, and she helped me to motivate my self : when there is a will there is a way.... Now let me find the will......
