today's view

I believe exercise should be part of a daily lifestyle.  I choose Pilates as mine. Pilates strengthens your core and lengthens your muscles.  Using coordination and breathing exercises pilates also relaxes your mind.  Exercises strengthen and lengthen your muscles during the routine and at cool down.  Here are some exercises to try out.  I use my weight with 2 resistance bands on these exercises: bicep and pectoral curls.

Here is my Aero Pilates Machine

Here is a great bicep exercise=> Rowing:Bicep Curls



Here is a great pectoral exercise=> Rowing:Pectoral Pulls


I do my Pilates Level 2 exercises one day then Pilates Cardio the next. I try to jazz it up by using different resistance bands or different Levels 1 or 2 that day.
