Why Pilates is Awesome

Last night, I decided to do a bit of Pilates.  I chose 10 Minute Solution's Pilates Perfect Body because I'm a fan of that DVD.  I ended up doing the abs, buns & thighs, and stretch segments; to date, I haven't tried the other two.

The thing I really like about pilates is that it doesn't seem to affect my glucose level too much.  With many other activities, like skiing and biking, I need to prepare quite heavily.  Even yoga seems to drop my glucose level much faster that I would have believed.  But not pilates!  The other night, I doing thirty minutes of Pilates Perfect Body, I dropped exactly 0.2 mmol/L, from 9.4 to 9.2.  You wouldn't believe how awesome that is! 

And let me assure you, I still felt this workout, especially during the buns and thighs routine. 

So yes, in my opinion, pilates is an awesome activity for me.  :)
