Some more Pimpin'

O.k. so I have said that I am a self confessed DVD Whore. When my favoritest teacher told us one day that despite all of her experience, workshops, etc. ( 30 some years of it) that she has learned most of what she knows via DVD/VHS, etc. I went for it.

   Soooooo remember the Floorwork post ? I have been working non stop with that Ruby DVD and it is kick ass! Here's the thing, I own several DVDs/tapes with floorwork material on them, and they are not bad. But this one is superior. What makes it superior is that she shows you lines. Shows you alignment, shows you that even the smallest awareness of certain muscle groups can make or break not only the movements but your back. I feel like in comparison all of the other floorwork material I have is incredibly sloppy.
    The ," warmup/strengthening techniques" part is AMAZING. If you have no introduction to Pilates this part will leave you saying..... damn. Ruby is a certified Pilates instructor also and even though I have done Pilates before and loved it, her approach is especially tailored for the bellydancer. I swear on the Lindt dark chocolate bar that I have waiting for me as a snack, I could see definition in my abs after 1 week of doing just the strengthening exercises.

So I have decided. I'm gonna marry Ruby....or at least send her flowers or something.
