Addendum

I forgot to add that I have not only lost weight and inches, I have gained flexibility and mobility. That truly is a plus for me. I still have some issues , but my overall health has improved. My blood pressure has decreased also. So, all of my doctors are quite impressed!

And it is such a gratifying feeling to begin an exercise program and stick with it. I feel like I'm cheating or that I am missing something the days that I don't do Pilate's.

I usually exercise at LEAST 3 times a week but my usual routine is M-F...weekend off. It only takes 20 minutes but then I usually add the 10 minute sculpting blast...you should see my legs! Wow...they are being totally reshaped from bottom to top. They really are pure, solid muscle up to the mid thigh area. I have a good bit of "soft" thigh tissue to work on...doesn't that sound so much better than "flab/fat"?!

And my waist ...well, it's back!

So try it!

It may be an awesome improvement to your general well being and health. It will also improve your mental well being and your confidence.

I worked as a nurse for about 15 years and didn't push for people to exercise a lot because I didn't...but now I totally support it and expound upon its benefits.

OK, nuff said...just DO IT.

How To Lose 2 Pant Sizes in 2 Months

A lot of my friends around home know that a couple of months ago I began exercising to Windsor Pilates. I have a chronic pain problem (radiculopathy-disease of the nerve root) in my right hip and lower back and am often plagued with a sort of immobility/pain problem...a bit of a complication to another health issue...anyway, I have tried all types of therapy, exercise and medications...you get the picture. Well, I decided that since my weight seemed to be inching up as the years went by and my height (5'1 1/2") (and yes, dh, I'm sticking with that height!) wasn't increasing to go along with it, I'd begin some kind of regular routine.

I had purchased the dvd set a few years ago but didn't commit to the program at the time. I came upon the dvd a few months ago while cleaning out some things and decided to finally commit to toning up...losing a couple (or 4) pant sizes...I wish I had of done my measurements when I first began but I didn't...I CAN tell you that (after decreasing serving sizes) and not changing much else, I lost 20 pounds within 2 or 3 weeks !

I have been following the dvd about 2-3 months now. I was wearing a size 12 in some pants and a 10 in others...and now I am in a SIZE 8!!!

All I can say is....YAAAA HOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

YYYYIIIIPEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

I was always so petite and small and never had to watch my diet so I had never really exercised beyond riding a bike when I was young.

I had always been the one that cooked before this (2nd) marriage and now my wonderful husband cooks...it's so delicious that I began to over eat...and consume wine with dinner (and honestly, beyond).

Soooo...I realize that it is going to take me a while longer to get to where I truly want to be since these poor middle age muscles of mine were rather flaccid and underdeveloped but I will get there.

I did measure myself after I had lost the 20 pounds and since then I have lost a 1/2" off of each upper arm ! And I am beginning to see quite a "cut" in my upper arm.

So, if any of you need to tone up, lose weight or just generally exercise for a healthier life, try this
