It's Been A While...

I'm back... I looked at my last post and couldn't believed that it was dated April. Wow.. that's how long I've not posted anything on my blog. Actually I did log in a few times and started something... but nothing eventuate... all in draft forms and not interesting enough to finish them off. I will get back to them in due course.


Anyway, I went to a Pilates introductory class yesterday...planning to join a fitness programme. It was a free introductory which I think was quite good as it enables me to decide whether it is what I want for my exercise. I never heard of Pilates before but when I joined a Yoga class with a friend last year, I started googling on similar fitness programmes. Pilates is similar to Yoga without the meditation or mental exercise. While Pilates focuses on strengthening core part of the body and lengthening the spine, I personally like Yoga for it's physical and mental exercise... the breathing and relaxation technique is a very effective stress relieve. I read something about Yoga banned by some for it's spiritual teaching... I don't know about that one but I think it all depends on who the instructor is and how you take it. I didn't see any religious teachings involved.

I have not decided to take up the Pilates class yet which supposedly starts on Tuesday... luckily I have not paid anything. I might start my own pilates or yoga thingy on my own at home... booring.

Hi sis, welcome back. I have the same problem about writing and thinking what to post. See I have not posted much for for a while too. Once in a while I get the urge to write something and half way I find that they become too personal and private and so I just stop and delete everything. Anyway, I guess what i feel is not unusual..

I have heard a bit about pilates and it seems to be quite popular with movie stars. I myself have not exercised for a while and my jogging shoes has only been worn once. Hahaha what a shame..i hope to get to it eventually..ciao..
