Beat the Blizzard with Pilates

You would think with all this crazy weather and being stuck inside, I could actually keep up on my blog. But between the desperate runs for toilet paper, wine, and baby food, the extra time for shoveling, and of course an 8-month old that never wants to sleep. These precious days with all this so called extra time just slips away. For the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast these past 3 weeks have pummeled us with multiple feet of snow, keeping us house bound and stir crazy with cabin fever. What's the best way to beat the blizzard blues??? Why not try Pilates? If you've never have, now is the perfect time. With U-tube, the Internet, and even on-line book ordering you can have a DVD, book or demo right before your eyes. Sometimes if you have On-Demand you can go through the guide and find a Pilates class for free to order right off your TV! And for those of us that are familiar with Pilates. All you have to do is grab your towel or mat. Lie on the floor and do mat exercises for 20-30 minutes or put in one of your DVDs. In that little bit of time you'll get rid of the flat butt you've now earned from watching too much TV, flatten your abs from all the food we've shoved down our throats out of complete boredom, even take away those aches and pains from your stiff body from shoveling the mounds of snow from your driveway. I think I might take my own advice as I gaze out the window at the snow covered pine trees that continue to bend in the 50 mph winds and continue to leave me trapped in this house. Oh Well at least the baby is asleep.
