The first thing I have learned is that the vacation and the big trip are coming, so I want, first of all, to wish you a wonderful vacation full of pleasant memories!
I've always been amused by the resonance of the word "pilates", and have never been curious to find out what it means. I don't even know if these exercises are only done by girls and women, or if men can do it too. I have back and spine problems myself, I try some exercises at home but I'm not consistent and, it probably, would be better to be assisted.
I am glad that you feel a good effect after pilates and that you have discovered new and useful things, probably you will do some easy exercises on vacation, for maintenance. Have a nice vacation!
Thank you, the preparation for the trip is already tiresome but once we leave and arrive there, then the real vacation time will start. I will be in your neighborhood ;)
Men can also do pilates, of course. It was a man after all who invented these exercises 😉
Recently I was switching my schedules of the pilates classes so sometimes I got into groups whit two men and one woman. Oh, and the majority of the instructors are male in the gym where I go, so it is indeed not just a girlie thing. Maybe you and your wife could give it a try, I am sure she would also feel the benefits of these exercises.
Yes, I know you will be in the neighborhood and you will cross old Europe. I think it is tiring but also beautiful and interesting. I wish you a pleasant trip! I'm curious how you see the places where you grew up now. I hope we will see something in your future posts.
