I went to pilates with the wife. Anyone else ever done that? A bunch of stretches and isometric movements that fall somewhere between being uncomfortable yet somehow also falling asleep.

Never. Heard of it though, most of the gyms I go to have a Pilates class. I just see the word Pirates every time and get disappointed when I remember it’s not a Pirates class
I’ve done a “warrior yoga” class only at my friend’s fancy gym. It’s pretty brutal. Heated room where you sweat buckets, and I sweat more than most, and start slipping around like a wet seal trying to hold poses on my stupid rubber yoga mat they give me
And the pace is fast and the poses/exercises are tough. Well most are. I tend to do better than everyone else in the class at air squats due to being so used to squatting heavy weight regularly. And arm stuff with the small 5lb dumbbells they give you I crush at. But everything else, especially stuff where you are holding a downward dog but swinging a leg back or to the side I really struggle. I just have too high and too heavy a center of gravity compared to those petite girlies all around
Still a hard good workout though
