Getting in Shape

Chris and I have started a membership at the gym nearby (Bally's Total Fitness) to try to get in shape. I was especially interested in the classes and have attended a couple of Pilates and "abs and stretch" classes. Chris has had a couple of sessions with a personal trainer and is doing excercises called "planks" to strengthen his "core".

Pilates is a popular exercise method based on the teachings of Joseph Pilates. The Pilates exercises were originally developed for dancers and focus on long, lean bodies and strong "cores". The "core" refers to muscles in the abdominal area.
