    An hour of glorious Pilates yesterday. Starting to incorporate stretching and strength into my workout. Will help with my running. :)

    Oh I love Pilates. I've been doing a stretching video and have noticed my flexibility improving. I haven't done it for a couple if days. I need to get back to it

    Ladies - I have a question. I have been doing yoga once or twice a week to try to improve flexibility. Do you find Pilates any better in that regard? Or are they similar in that aspect?

    Thanks for your input.


    I Feel like Pilates is more of a workout than yoga but then the yoga classes I tried had a really weird new agey instructor and I just didn't like them. Pilates I felt uses more strength. the stretching video i do is from a pilates YouTuber so I'd say it's good

    what did you have your shoulder surgery for? I've a wonky shoulder, they're so annoying

    Ruptured bicep tendon is what sent me to the Dr. MRI confirmed Bicep tendon rupture, partial 50%ish tears of sub-scapular muscle and rotator cuff (have had shoulder issues for years), and some arthritis as well. Told the Doc to fix it all. As it turns out, they couldn’t fix the bicep (it was too retracted & they would have had to cut shoulder to forearm to fix). So I’ll be a monocep with hopefully a great new shoulder after rehab

    I've a greater than 50% partial tear of my rotator cuff. They don't want to do surgery since it's not guaranteed I'd get full recovery and as it is I appear to have no diminished range of motion although for me it is. I have hyper mobile joints to which means there's also arthritis. I get an MRI in May just to see if it's improving or getting worse[/quote]

    I empathize. Trying to rehab with an “athlete’s purpose” and hope to be as close to as good (as before as possible because couldn’t repair bicep, that will definitely be weaker) - but too soon to tell what I’ll ultimately be (I’m only 13 days out of surgery)

    I'll be anxious to hear about your recovery. I'm doing physio and my strength has improved the problem is I have a hard time stopping my fun things to let it rest. Oh well sucks getting old

    I find that yoga helps more with stretching and pilates works more on the strength of your small muscles. The pilates movements are more subtle.

    both work well for core stability.
    I do both, find them different, but love them both!

    Ha, spoken like a true Canadian. "Toque". I'm in the Interior of BC, between the Monashee Mountains to the west and the Selkirk Mountains to the east. Snow is just about all gone now.

    Happy Friday everyone. Hope you're all doing well and smashing your goals.

    Today I have back/tricep/cardio and tomorrow I have Legs, + plus doing some scouting. That's usually good for 10 + Km.

    It melted as it touched the ground but my friend sent a pic from northern Ontario where they have a covering of snow
