like, a lot.
i do pilates-ish things all day long, every day. it's a bit difficult, shall we say, to find uninterrupted time to exercise with a new baby and a two-year-old, but pilates does interruptions just fine, thank you.
for example:
as i'm sitting on the couch typing this, i'm practicing my breathing.
how to practice pilates breathing:
- place your hands on your ribs.
- breath in deeply and feel your rib cage expand.
- breath out quickly and forcefully through pursed lips and feel your ribs constrict. imagine you're putting on a corset, and breathing out so you can get it really tight.
- get ready for wonderfully sore intercostals (muscles you may not have known you had), and better posture!
