My success…I have a new career… in pilates!

After more than 40 years of working and juggling a family I finally really retired about two years ago. I found that having time to read, golf and attend endless luncheons and coffees wasn’t really for me. I was BORED and spending much too much time on the computer.

I have always been an active person working out and walking and taking Pilates classes at the Fitness Center, but it wasn’t enough. My Pilates instructor here in North Carolina suggested I join her Mat Training class….and I did! I am more than 30 years older than the other 5 students and I am still struggling with “the teaser’ and open leg rocker, BUT I am motivated and I love it!

I am practicing almost daily, reading books, attending classes at various clubs and viewing tapes to develop a Senior Pilates class. This past Thursday I taught a practice session for 4 friends and they seemed to really like it– so much so that they have asked me to teach every Thursday, and next week, I have 7 students signed up including two men! In January, I am starting a Monday Senior class at NC Pilates in Durham and will be subbing at the Senior Center and a nearby gym. I have a new career starting and I haven’t even finished my certification.

Thanks Leslie for introducing me to Pilates.
