Re: Does anyone do Pilates?
I do yoga and its a good workout- you SWEAT cause you're holding your own body weight in various positions to strengthen muscles- i LOVE it cause at the end of class you meditate for like 10 minutes and its so relaxing!!!! I've never takin pilates but i think its alot more strethcing, ballerinas do it to lengthen their bodies.
oh another alternative to a great workout is belly dancing- i used to take it and its so fun- my stomach muscles ached after every class!!!

I' ve done pilates and it is GREAT on your abs. Nothing flatten and tones them better. It does consist of a lot of stretching and it requires dedication to see results.

I LOVE pilates, it gave me the fastest results. ALso, not only do you lose weight but it makes your whole body look different, gives you nice long lean muscles and seeing nice definition
i love the total body workout dvd. Its an hour long and targets arms, abs, hips, thighs

I own a pilates CD but don't find it works too well... perhaps I should take it out of the box?

Pilates is great. I've trained in Karate for five years, and pilates was actually one of the hardest workouts I've ever done. Great for losing weight and trimming that waistline! :)

I teach Pilates so of course I think it's amazing. When done right, it with transform your body. I will say though the the DVDs usually don't work too well because there isn't someone there with you, but anything you do is better than nothing. Just really be aware of your low-back if you're doing Pilates without an instructor.

I like Pilates - have been going for 5 weeks. I think it depends on the instructor - if you'll see results or not. We do different things every week and add weights sometimes. It works your core so hard that you will literally be saying ouch out loud!
