Well, I got my butt (and abs!) kicked today. What a workout!!!
And there I was, last week, walking around my house with a "I'm the queen of pilates" swagger after doing the 20 minute tape 3 or 4 times. Ha! What was I thinking today? I popped the 50 minute tape in and OH MY!!!
It was a challenge! There were several instances where I followed the instructions and got into the correct position, tried to follow through with the move and my body didn't budge! 
(this funny sit-up type thingy that is towards the end of the tape, for anyone who's done this particular tape all the way through).
Yikes! I am going to stick with the 20 minute tape every other day and do the 50 minute one at least once a week and then work up to twice a week. I felt SO CHALLENGED and it was great! I had been feeling a bit "fluffy" earlier today, so making it all the way through the tape was a total mental boost. AND I do feel like my abs got a great workout and I think I can see a difference (maybe that's just my imagination!)
I'd love to know what any Winsor Pilates tape owners think of this 50 minute program. Kamy, are you doing this one? Does it get any easier? Since doing the first 20 minute session, I can see an improvement in how long I can hold my legs at a 45 degree angle during some of the moves. I know if I keep at it, I will master it, but man, it was really killer today!!
I really feel like there is hope for my stomach now! I got a bunch of fashion magazines today and I keep looking at all those low-ride pants. I can't wait to own a pair (and wear them confidently!)
OH, and Target now sells belly button rings!!!
I think it's time to update mine. I mean, if my belly is going to be getting a little more exposure, I have to make sure it's dressed up, right?
