I hit the gym 4x a week, a regular lifting schedule with moderate running; emphasis on outdoor activies in my free time (such as sailing down by the lake).

That crap was HARD that she made me do. I thought it would be wussy and easy because it doesn't look hard at all. Oops.

It's remarkable how hard that crap is considering you are just using your own body weight.... I didn't think it would be anything like that at all

My wife is a yoga instructor, and what might look easy is devilish for those of us not blessed with a ton of flexibility. The strength exercises I'm OK with, but we hold them forever. She's in great shape because she's teaching 3x a week. I only go a couple of times a month, but should make it more regularly.

it's definitely not "girlish" and weak. it takes strength and agility.

can someone give me a rundown of what exactly Pilates is? is it a type of yoga, or a variation thereof?

Pilates is a core workout, combining moves from aerobics, yoga and other forms of stretching.

I thought it said "The gf made you do Pirates with her last night".
I just came in to say Ninjas > Pirates.

Pilates is rough as hell. Hope you had a good mat.

If your girl is like mine, and she's been doing it for awhile, I'll bet she's fit as hell.
