Pilates: begin at the beginning

I went to the Pilates' Beginners Class this morning - much better for me at this stage than the mixed / intermediate version last week. Especially good, as there were only four of us, so it was easier for Mary to pay us individual attention.

I've been coming to the conclusion that whilst the every-other-day pattern is fine for "serious" exercise - hard work, a run or a full gym session - I feel fidgety and a bit out of sorts if I spend all day at the PC and nothing else. So on the in-between days, I figure I need something which counts as exercise, but is a bit gentler. Like a Pilates session, or a walk, or even just some energetic housework, or... well, I'll see what other alternatives I can come up with...
