Started Pilates today after having had a trial session last year. it might look gentle but believe me it really works those muscles ! I think it's great exercise after WLS and I could feel it just in those places I really need it- you know, all those saggy areas !
I've always been flexible but had forgotten how good it feels to be flexible and slim ! I had a ball pushing myself as far as I could go ! At the end of the session the instructor said she envied my flexibility and asked me if I could do the splits... Now she knows my history and that I've had WLS after years of obesity so the question rather threw me ! I said I used to be able to do the splits when I was a teenager but I hadn't tried for over 30 years... so I did ! Eeeeek !!! I do hope I haven't done any damage (I ache in a very unladylike place !), but I heaven help me, I got down there !!!!! What am I thinking... it's one thing to reinvent myself but I do need to remember I'm NOT a teenage anymore ! LOL.

They would literally have to cut me in 2 to make me do the splits lol.....well done and I hope your unladylike place is better soon
