Today was the last day of the session for my pilates studio and I definitely ended it with a bang. Went to the recharge equipment circuit (which I had always loved but couldn't fit into the schedule regularly this session). And boy did we circuit and workit.
There was some single leg jump board which I found incredibly hard today for my right leg - it is so wimpy compared to my left. There was also some really lovely step work LOL as Jana put it - welcome back to the 80s - thankfully that was just in 1 minute intervals.
Hamstrings were definitely worked as well on one station. We did with 1 foot on the chair's foot bar then raising and lowering our hip escalators. I always find these one leg hip escalators so hard and especially with the foot doing the work in an elevated position like that. But one definitely knows their hamstrings have gotten to work when doing those.
Of course I am sitting here and writing this out after getting home from the class and still feeling that great feeling post workout. Wishing I was able to fit the circuit into my regular schedule this coming session. Might need to make some changes to my schedule to make it happen. And of course to counteract my wonderful work just a little bit I am also sitting here eating a bacon and tomato sandwich (only one slice of whole wheat bread though) and all I can say is it was absolutely scrumptious. The great thing is that while bacon may not be the best thing in the world for a person I can definitely say that I can savour a few slices and be satisfied now - back not so very long ago I would have wanted to eat a whole package of the stuff.
So awesome you are feeling great after your workout and that you are savouring the smaller amount of bacon. Keep up the great work and if you can rejig your schedule fantastic!
