An Empty Pilates Studio This Afternoon


The 26-week pregnant pilates instructor isn't letting up on the intense exercises for both herself and clients. She's keeping super active, and making sure that all of us are keeping up with her. She's also gotta even better at isolating muscles to reach muscle fatigue quickly in any given set of movements. I'm having mild DOMS each week after a class. Dohhh. 

The thing about not traveling — I don't have anything to train for — no hikes, no skiing, nothing. So in that sense, maintaining the fitness level is a tad tiring. I decreased the intensity for February and March. Now in April and May, I'm upping it again before the instructor goes off for her maternity leave. 

Now that we're in inter-monsoon, before the rains of the Southwest Monsoon return in June, the man and I aren't bound to take turns to stay home with Smol Girl. Time to schedule everything I want to do in the day! I asked for an intensive few weeks at the studio. While sufficient and productive enough, the instructor's home studio isn't as well equipped as a professional studio, of course. 

So we swopped out to the movement studio where I get to play with everything! And the bigger space also lends a different vibe to the classes. The studio was empty this afternoon. What a rarity! I was done with the class, and scored extra alone time on the equipment. Yay!
