To keep my back from getting stiff, I have a strict regime every morning of stretching and do yoga once a week and Pilates. 'Strictly Come Dancing' in 2008 was great for my fitness.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have always done exercise because I was a dancer, and it is probably good for you. I have done yoga consistently.
I used to dance for seventeen years -classical ballet, which was very disciplined. I like yoga and Pilates, but I don't have the discipline to go to the gym.
I've been doing yoga since 1980 or '81, and I've kind of developed my own routine. It's challenging and thorough, but I'm not holy about it. Sometimes I'll watch a tape of Jon Stewart's show while exercising.
I do Pilates because it's important for me to have a healthy back when I'm 70 so I'm not hunched over and in pain.
It used to be only yoga, but now I do Pilates as well; I feel like I need the balance.
Sometimes I do yoga, sometimes it's kickboxing, sometimes it's weight training, sometimes it's Pilates.
I do yoga almost daily. I try to fit in swimming and cycling when I can.
Dancing is my therapy. I also try to meditate every morning and take several two-hour yoga classes a week at my favorite yoga studio, Urban Flow.
Pilates is great.
I wish I did something like yoga or Pilates. All the people I know who do it tell me it's incredible.
