Pilates

Finally photo evidence of my exercising cat. Mima LOVES pilates. In the morning when I wake up she plays speed bump at my bedroom door (when the door opens she lays down in front as quickly as possible) and she goes totally nuts when she hears the pilates music kick in. While I scroll through the DVD menu, she quickly lays down on my mat and is ready to start.
Then I push her aside and she lays next to me and stretches her arms and legs as I do my workout. Please just ignore my morning hair in the photo... This is different from what my cat Chuchee used to do, which was attack my arms and legs and hang from them as I kicked and stretched. Mima is a true girl and also trying to keep her figure.
After a few minutes, she gets tired and goes to eat or drink. Then she does yoga on the wall, which is laying right up against the wall with her arms and legs up. I tried to get a photo of that, but she moved at the last moment. It actually looks like she's doing her sit-ups here.This is very much our daily routine, weekends definitely throw her for a loop. I don't mind having an exercise buddy in the mornings! :) And for the record, the photos are taken at 5:30 AM when I exercise....yup, it's already so light out, and the sun sets after 10pm now!! :)

Diana - I have a cat that insists on interrupting my yoga routine either by climbing all over me or laying down on the mat. The best one is when I'm in downward facing dog and he weaves in and out of my arms or legs.

Wow, light already at 5:30 and sunset after 10 pm. Not jealous of the morning sun but definitely jealous of the late setting sun. Right now the sun goes down just after 8 pm.
