I started Pilates about 5 years ago after I hurt my back - regular practice apparently reduces the risk of re-occurrence, and did it once in class and twice other times - but gave that up mainly cos it was quite difficult lying on your back on the floor doing "controlled" leg lifts with a cat hanging off one leg and a dog sitting on your chest!
So of course my back re-occurred and I'm back to exercises for that and doing pilates in the morning (well it's too snowy to run just now anyway) - Gizzy (unlike her predecessor) doesn't try to join in (she prefers to curl up on my back when I'm doing the Plank) but watches with interest from on high - paws tucked neatly in and peering down over the edge of her ledge at me. Murphy was far more interested in trying to join in, with the paw on the chest as before. It took me several firm (but whispered) "no!" and "lie down"'s before he got the message and slouched on the floor, dejectedly waiting til I stopped being silly and took him out for his walk.
Hoomans, eh?
