So I thought I'd be cool and start doing pilates....

and now my legs are KILLING me. I cant take one step without wincing in pain. I go the gym every day, so I cant understand why this hurts so bad. Serves me right for trying to be in the 'in' crowd. OUCH!!!!

I did them for the first time last night at my gym. I love it! My legs and stomach are sore. Anyone do them at home? If so is Winsor Pilates the better of them all?

I got the Winsdor Pilates dvd, its good, there is a pilates workout and a 'fat burning' workout, which by the end I am sweating soo much.

I only did the pilates one twice now, but if you remember to pull your stomach in the whole time, you definitly feel it.

I never did one in the gym, so I don't know the difference.

Im actually embarrassed to admit this, but here it goes. I think its channel 168, the magrack. Well I was flipping through it and saw they had a couple of pilates shows. I did three of them that consisted of 10 minutes each (some were 45 minutes

) I felt fine afterwards, but boy was I hurting this morning.
