Bosu Ball Classes and Maniac Monday Workout

I bought a bosu ball about two weeks ago, and have really enjoyed adding it to my workout. Today I went to my usual Monday pilates class to find that I'm not the only one who loves it.

Hannah, my favorite pilates instructor, has been using her ball to help intensify her cardio workouts and decided it would be fun to add a little bosu work out into the classes offered. I'm hoping she'll have the class offered before Decemeber to help provide a little extra motivation during the holidays!

Of course the pilates class was as intense as ever! I have been taking pilates long enough now so that I can really tell the difference. My muscles feel strong yet my flexibility has increased. I am easily as flexible as I was in my early 20's, but with more strength. I also find that now I can do the workout without thinking so much about what I am doing and just enjoy the workout.

After pilates I walked a mile at the local track. It had rained the night before and the track was a bit slippery, so my usual gave way to the slippery track and my desire not to break something! The walk was a nice change of pace from my normally intense Monday cardio routine.

Hopefully soon I'll be able to tell you guys what an hour of instense bosu ball is like. If it's as intense as the 20 minutes of toning I've been getting, then Maniac Monday will have a whole new meaning!
