I am aching in every muscle.
Yesterday I attended a Pi1ates class for the first time. I am trying to build up to running again (I got so fit before we married!) and thought that the stretching and core muscle work would help build up strength in my abdomen and lower back, which gets sore when I run.
It is interesting, because we spent a lot of time with either legs or butts in the air, doing these little rotations, and I only got a bit warm. There were a couple of moments where I was quivering like a jelly, supporting myself doing a push-up, for example, but on the whole it was just a lot of stretching and controlled breathing. As we left, I could feel the stretch in every muscle. It hurt even to drive! This morning, every muscle aches in every part of my body.
I am going to keep on going, if only to get to the level of every other woman in the class, all of whom were a good fifteen years older than me, and could maintain a postion twice as long. Ouch.
