a good effect for the effort

 I was up way too long last night working on the places lived part of my blog, so it was around 01:45 that I managed to get to sleep. The dawn light was set for a weekend sleep in time of 07:35, and I woke with energy so I started my morning with a 30 minutes pilates session, focus on glutes.

 

I really like the part where my hips don’t ache anymore at bedtime since I started doing pilates regularly. So many of the exercises are the same as, or similar to the ones my physical therapist gave me to treat that hip ache back in 2012. They worked well then, but any time I forgot to to them for some weeks, back the ache would come. Now that my daily yoga habit also includes regular pilates too (not instead) my hips are always happy. Why don’t they teach us these basic body maintenance tricks when we are little?

 

The rest of the day slipped by without my making note of it, but we must have done something.
