Pilates Burn

I bought myself a pilates DVD before I went away on holiday and did it once - on the only day I had available to do it on.

It hurt. In a good way.

I'm a strange person, I really like the pain that I get after a workout. It's kind of a masochistic "Well I must be doing something right" kind of feeling I get.  I enjoy hunger pangs in the same way, the only sensation I ever had in a gastic capacity was overeating pain and lack of poops (TMI? Ok).

So then I went on holiday and that pain subsided, I got on with my walking and holidaying and didn't think about burn for a whole 3 weeks.

Friday I decided was time to do some more Pilates! "It'll be easy enough this time!" thought Cockybrain. "You've done it before, it's nice and gentle!"

So I put my gear on, popped the DVD on and got down to zipping and curling and relaxing and flexing and ow ow ow ow owowowowoww!

I actually felt pretty good that evening. Even thought to myself that I'd cracked it this time and it was stupid and a waste of an hour.

Then I woke up the next morning. 

Have you ever had the burn in your legs so much that you can't sit down on the loo without leaning on the sink for help? That.

I sound like I'm bitching and moaning about it from all that, but I'm really not! I really love this feeling in my muscles,  it's like I can feel them getting stronger and repairing themselves into brand new, white hot calorie burning metabolic fireballs! 

S'great :)

Might only do it once a week though for now.  I think if I tried to do it today I might die :)
