For me, Mat Pilates is the creamed peas of workouts! NOT my cup of tea. I'm sure from an outsiders perspect I looked as graceful as a gorilla on roller skates and quite frankly, it HURTS! In places I didn't even know could hurt. I was feeling very accomplished this morning, knowing that I made it through that miserable hour of my life. AND satisfied that I will NEVER have to do it again! But then it occurred to me... if I felt satisfied and accomplished doing terrible at it --- how much more would I feel to get better at it! Perhaps one day even master it!
41 years of settling for mediocrity! NO MORE!
I'm making a new commitment to spend the second half of my life learning to excel at the things I am NOT so good at!
I declare today - I WILL MASTER MAT PILATES BEFORE I AM 82! lol. Count on it!

I felt the same way about Mat Pilates. I told my wife that it sucked while doing it, but afterwards I felt amazing. It's a must try again. I can't believe that you're 41, you look more like 31.
