Mat and Ball (or Hoop) Exercises based on Spencer Pilates (and we work too hard not to laugh once in a while). Each "section" is done for approximately 20 minutes:   (Pamela)

	Mat routines will be a series of movements designed to strengthen your abdominal and back muscles (core muscles).  These are done in a continuous flowing sequence, with pauses for resting and stretching.  We also include some upper body and leg/thigh/glut firming exercises. Mat routines are done after warming up with either the ball or hoops.
	Ball exercises are practiced with a large ball, sitting on the ball, holding the ball between your feet or in your hands, lying over the ball, or lying on the mat with your legs resting on the ball. These exercises strengthen your core and are great for strengthen the arms, legs, thighs and gluts.
	Hula-hoop fitness are using large padded and slightly weight hula hoops to strengthen our core -- and have fun. We learn to spin while hooping, walk while hooping (harder than it sounds), and sometimes we even do the Hokey Pokey while hooping.
	Stretching is very important considering all the strengthening and toning done in class, so the last 20 minutes are deep total stretches.
