Pilates or Yoga? That is the question...

Last night I did pilates. And I played a little baseball out front with Justin. I really love playing baseball/softball. I played on fast pitch city league softball teams for several seasons, and when I was in YW. My old ward in Chandler also played women's softball, so I was thrilled whenever the season rolled around. My position for my city league was usually shortstop, but I occasionally was pitcher catcher, 1st base or left field. I could do any of the bases, but they weren't as much fun as shortstop. I guess I didn't really play baseball, but I did keep hitting the ball and had Justin chase down the balls. The wind was blowing pretty good, so depending on the way the wind blew he might not have to run too far. When I was done hitting the wiffle balls for Justin I went inside to do pilates. Natalie joined me. At several points during the workout I thought, "Dear Lord, why am I doing this? I think I'm going to die. Please don't let me cry or cuss in front of the kids!" Then this morning I thought the same thing... only when I would lift my arms, stand up, sit down, turn, bend down or reach up. It hurt in my bad SI joint, my back, my abs from top to bottom, and in my upper arms. Mostly it just hurt in my bad SI joint and lower back so I didn't really notice the other pains as much. I'm not sure if the pain in the joint and back was caused by hitting the ball or the pilates. When I figure it out I'll probably avoid that one.
Anyway... tonight I tried yoga. It was right up my alley. I do several of these poses already in my daily stretching routine. I felt totally relaxed when I was done. Now I just have to see how I feel in the morning. I don't really expect to hurt, though, because this was so relaxing. I'm thinking I can do either of these things every day and see if it helps relieve my back pain. Hopefully something will work!
