Problems with Pilates

This whole blog started because I chose to become a runner.  We all had a nice giggle at my chub rub and runners poos.

Not that I have moved on, but I want to introduce you to my new love.

Pilates.

Don't get it twisted. This is not a pansy work out.  Yes, you might do pilates and ACTUALLY be sore.
My problem is not that I am not getting a great workout or that I don't burn enough calories, but it is that my gut is too big.  I wish I were kidding.

Pause the above video at second 48.  Now imagine this woman as one hundred pounds heavier. This is what SHOULD be going through your head:

1) That would be disgusting to watch
2) Those pounds would make that exercise very hard to do properly
3) My... a second chin might cut off breathing in that position
4) Do they make plus size spandex?

Like any relationship, there are some doubts, but all in all I'm glad you've met my new love.  I think we are going to get through this.
