Started my first session for both Pilates and Belly Cabaret today, at 7.30pm and 8.30pm respectively. Lotsa to rave about now.

Pilates
Pilates exercises one's resistance. A bit like Body Pump but not as intense. This also means the muscle toning process for girls will be better. Will look defined and toned, yet not bulky.

This may seem easy but is far from that. Differs from Yoga. Pilates concentrates on conditioning whereas Yoga concentrates on flexibility.

The deep breathing from Yoga makes me feel more serene/zen. However, Pilates really works on one's abs and triceps. Aww, I can already feel my arms aching.

Belly Cabaret
This is basically belly dancing and really fun. Belly dancing is one dance which I have always wanted to pick up, since last year. Finally, I have time for it.

Because Belly Cabaret is an on-going class, the other students already had their Belly Dance Hip Scarf and the golden coins slithering along their sashes were jingling away.

May, the instructress, taught a routine and mentioned that every week would differ slightly. Although it was my first time, it was not so difficult. A lot of hip movements and I am pretty sure this Belly Cabaret will tone up one's tummy!

Thoroughly enjoy myself today and also looking forward to tomorrow's Yoga class. I am a happy girl! Unfortunately, I have to attend a corporate event next Wednesday and gonna miss my Pilates and Belly Cabaret. It also doesn't help that I will miss the 5th December lessons too as it is my company's Dinner & Dance.

Oh well. Must really practise on my own to try to catch up! And I gonna be getting my own Belly Dance Hip Scarf next week!
