"Hello, everyone. This is Noriko from Nihongo Storytime. Please listen to my story again today. Today, I'll talk about Pilates.

Do you all exercise? Do you work out? I hate exercising. I've never really exercised or worked out before. But this year, I started doing Pilates for a reason.

I have back pain. My back hurts. I went to the doctor for an examination, but there was no problem. I was told to exercise more. But I, who hate and am not good at exercising, wondered what I should do.

Since Pilates was recommended to me, I looked for a Pilates studio in Liverpool. I searched on Google Maps for a place close by. Then, I found a Reformer Pilates studio right next to the apartment where I live. It doesn't even take 3 minutes to walk there. So, I immediately signed up for a class.

In January and February, I took a private session once a week. Now, I attend a group session once a week. At home, I also make time to stretch and do simple Pilates every day. For that reason, I also bought a Pilates mat. Morning Pilates is about 10 minutes before work. It's simple, but it makes my body feel refreshed. Pilates in the afternoon also feels good. Recently, my physical condition has been good. So, I will continue to do Pilates from now on.

That's all for today. See you again."
