Ode to Pilates, Week 2

Breathe, two , three four
Bend and stretch a little more.
Put my foot over my head?
Just one more rep and I'll be dead.

Hold that pose just one more minute
Might as well--think I'm stuck in it.
Stand on my head? Now that's a joke.
For that, I'd need more diet coke.

My arms are shaking, my legs are weak
My butt is burning, I cannot speak.
My gut's not feeling like it should
But man oh man, that sure felt good!

Seriously, Jamie, you in next week???

Way to put me on the spot.... I'll let you know next week :). I love the poem though. Look at you - a published author one week and poet the next!
