Funny you should mention Pilates - I did hear talk of a class starting up in my area - will keep an eye or ear or both out for this!

Will check out Cindy's exercises, thanks for telling me where to look.
perhaps do a Manatee exercise in replacement of those exercises that are a no-no for you at the gym?
Like this idea a lot - kind of like exercise "freestying"!
