Happy Friday! I’m just about to head off for work but I wanted to share my first vlog with you guys today. I’ve been wanting to do one of these forever and am so excited to be sharing this!
The topic is Pilates. I think it is such an amazing workout technique that’s always overshadowed by yoga. I want to bring it back into the spotlight! 😀
Top: Lululemon tank I can’t remember the name of right now.
Bottoms: Lululemon Ruffle Groove pants.
To read more reviews or buy the DVD I mention check it out on Amazon.
Sorry it’s so dark. That’s what happens when a person who knows nothing about camera lighting shoots a video in the middle of the night after working out. ;p
Question of the Day: Do you do Pilates? What do you like about it?
Dave at eRecipeCards says

Thanks so much Dave! I really appreciate it! I’m so excited to try out those O Olive Oils! I have a lot of ideas floating around my head!
Laura @ Mommy Run Fast says
Nice job on your vlog!! I haven’t attempted one yet, but it’s on my to-do list. 🙂 I love pilates, although I don’t go as often as I should. But I’ve learned the hard way how important core strength is for runners, and I do some core work about 3x/week.
Erin says
When you make a vlog send the link my way! I’d love to see! Yeah core strength is so important, I’m working on getting some! ;p
Debbie @ Live from La Quinta says
Nice job on your first vlog! I made my first one yesterday too!
I don’t do Pilates too much, though I’ve taken the first level of reformer training and hope to continue with it. Recently I’ve been more of a yoga girl.
Erin says
Oh I’m going to check yours out after work today! Congrats on making your first vlog!
I really like yoga too but for some reason pilates always clicked with me a little more.
Angie @ Losing It and Loving It says
I think you did a great job on your 1st vlog. Awesome product review too.
Hubby LOVES Pilates. We used to belong to a gym and our instructor was so good. Now that we have a home gym we really should get back to it. I’ll check the DVD out, thanks!
Erin says
I definitely recommend checking it out! Here’s the link to it: http://www.amazon.com/10-Minute-Solution-Lara-Hudson/dp/B0002J58ME/ref=sr_1_1?s=dvd&ie=UTF8&qid=1339271173&sr=1-1&keywords=Lara+Hudson.
And thanks so much, I had a lot of fun filming! 😀
Elle says
Congratulations on your first vlog!
I do like Pilates. Just not a fan of fast head up and down movements so I tend to take it slower.
Erin says
Thanks so much!!
And yeah, I definitely recommend doing it at the pace you feel comfortable. For the longest time there were some movements my body just wouldn’t do. After a long time I’ve finally managed to do them!

OH. MY. GOODNESS ERIN!!!!!! I am so proud of you for doing your very first vlog! IT ROCKED! And I loved the topic, too! And your workout gear 😉 I have always been pilates > yoga, but I totally agree! It gets overshadowed! I love how you said that!!!!!!
Erin says

Erin Motz says
I actually teach both and think both meet in the middle in a lot of ways… Love the video – great job!! 😀
Erin says
Aw thank you so much!! Yeah one of my friends is a licensed yoga instructor and she says the same thing, there are a lot of similarities.
Kierston says
I have never done pilates! Would totally be open to trying it out! 🙂 Great vlog!
