LOL! Who has hollows?! (OK, maybe some day soon.)

This thread is very timely. Early this week I received two DVDs: Pilates Workout for Dummies and Classical Pilates Technique - The Complete Mat Workout Series (Modified Basic / Basic / Intermediate / Advanced / Super Advanced). I also ordered the book, Pilates: Body in Motion so I could be really sure of the moves.

I have watched both DVDs twice and read through the book once. While I am skeptical that Pilates will significantly change my body (I'm used to doing that through lifting heavy weights), I am ready to give it a committed try.

FWIW, the Pilates Method Alliance (the true Classical method as taught by Joseph Pilates and then his successor Romana Kryzanowska) recommends working out only 2-3 times a week for an hour each time.

If I get really committed to this and like it as much as I think I will, I promise to buy myself the Raised Platform Mat for my birthday in March!

I'm in for Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
