Not “just” a workshop!

I am so exhausted… but in a good way! I really enjoyed my first Pilates experience but I think that I discovered bits and pieces of my body that I was not aware of before; I’m sore all over. The Pilates workshop was pretty intense; it wasn’t just a workshop, it was a workout!  I think I may have pushed it a little too far for the first time. My physical therapist had told me that at this point I have no limitation and that I can do anything that I want. On the other hand, she also warned me to take it slow by trying a few new movements at the time and see how it feels later. I need to be aware that if there’s soreness that’s fine but if there’s pain that means it’s too much, too quick, and tonight I have pain in my tailbone area. Since I’ve been getting stronger, I tend to get into the moment and when I see how much I am actually capable of doing I get excited and just go for it. I’m pretty sure that I know which exercise did the damage and I will try to avoid that one next time. Right now I’m going to soak in a bubble bath and decompress!
