pilates?
I am not good at finding time to exercise. There I said it. My husband and I even belong to a gym where the more we go the cheaper it is (his company pays more the more we go).
I have been thinking about either taking the pilates class once a week to start at the gym, or getting a video like The Method and trying to do it at home more. Has anyone tried pilates? What did you think? Thanks!! Shelley |
wow, if you have cheap access to pilates (which can be darned spendy), go for it! It's a nice combination of strength, flexibility and cardio. If you can get a couple of walks in besides that to begin, that'd be great too.

HI~
I just bought Windsor pilates off the internet.. she is the one that trains all the stars ;) .. Any how it was like $40 for 3 tapes .. I haven't recieved it yet, but a freind of mine did pilates twice a week and that s ALL she did , no diet or anything .. and lost like 10 pounds last semster .. I figure it will be much more easier for me to find time to do it around the house whenever I want that to drive to a gym and wait for a class to start :wave: |
I went to Target yesterday and bought The Method pilates tape and a belly dancing tape. I haven't had a chance to try either yet but I can't wait... Hopefully this afternoon.
I'll let you know what I think. |
re:pilates
I started pilates about a month ago at my local Gold's Gym. It is a great toning workout. My obliques started taking shape only after 2 weeks of class - something I could never get with my regular ab workout.
My only recommendation? Take the class at the gym a couple of times before you start on just the tape. The key to pilates is form and it help to have an instructor spotting your mistakes. Have fun! |
Good idea!! I've heard the pilates class is fun here.

shexland, Too funy I was in target the other day & I bought abook on pilates "the pilates body" by Brooke Sisler And the belly dancing tape! I thought belly dancing would be fun and may come in handy in the romance department,a multi-purpose tape :p
Let me know what you think of the work out .I haven't done it yet! heathbme |
pilates
I just got the winsor pilates tape, i have done it 2 days in a row, i love it because is very low impact, (i am very lazy) plus is not boring at all reminds me a lot of my ballet classes when i was younger, i hope it wortks, i think it will because i can feel every single muscle in my body once i am done, if it works i am sold, i did tae-bo for a while and found it a little to cardio, i want to tone i think this will do it, i will keep you posted of my results.

Pilates!

I started taking Pilates about the same time as I started The Zone. I had just had my 2nd baby, and at first I couldn't even do half the exercises because my abs were so weak. Now my stomach is flatter than it was before having kids! I like going to a class to have the instructor help me with form and to do a new workout each time. I am considering getting a DVD for those days I can't make it to the gym. I will try to attach a picture of my abs.
