Already I'm in week two of my two workout classes that I am attending at my job. The one I go to on Monday is called Pilates. This is for my abdominal muscles, the core muscles. Last week was tough because I did not have a mat.
Last night, I drove from Jamaica Plain to Quincy in search of the closest WalMart store because they have a Pilates mat. The tough part was that the store was located in a part of Quincy that I am not familiar with. I spent several minutes looking for the roads that lead to the WalMart. Luckily, I did find it. My mat has a bright purple color. I was exhausted when I finally got back to my condo. I haven't had the chance to do any entries since Friday night.
I showed up in class this afternoon and had a more comfortable workout doing the Pilates stretches this time around.
The other class I take is on Wednesday. It's called "Hips, Abs, and Thighs." This also works on the lower part of the body. My body felt sore after that workout last week, but I feel stronger now.
I need the classes because after having that bad car accident in December 2004. It has been difficult for me to stay in shape. I still have problems with my right knee. I am seeing an orthopedic doctor next week. Hopefully, he can help me with the pain I still have in that knee. It's been the primary cause of me going out of shape in the past year and a half.
