How are the tapes? Did you notice a difference in your body?

Re: Does anyone use windsor pilates?

I started doing them about 2 weeks ago. I do them almost every night. I do the accelated program. I think its working. I can almost see my stomach muscles coming back (I had a c-section 8 months ago). I must say that in the beginning I felt like my muscles were working but now I have to do more than what they have one the tape (repetitions) to actually feel a burn. Its very good at stretching and making your muscles longer and leaner. If I had to rate WP out of 10 being the best for a low impact workout I would give it an 8. JMO.

My gym offers Pilates classes and I've been going once a week for the past 4 weeks. I'd be there tonight but this friggin' snow kept me from going!!!!

However, I am noticing a difference in my posture and my stomach already. I have a bad back and since I've been doing Pilates my back has felt great! My girlfriend is a pilates addict and her body is incredible. I figure it works for Madonna so it should work for me.

Get into it girls - you'll feel and look great!

P.S. For extra added incentive: Read this in the book Pilates for Dummies - one of the benefits is better sex

My gym offers pilates too - 3 times a week. I usually go 2x. It really does make a difference in your body - my stomach is more defined especially the obliques! It's a great workout!!

Valenia -
Pilates is a form of excercise/stretching used alot by dancers to lengthen and tone your muscles.
Some people like to compare it to yoga, but I don't like to.

If done right and targeting the right muscles for the right exercises it is very effective. Advanced pilated is done with a pilates machine that helps you stretch your muscles further than you can on your own on a mat.

I LOVE IT!

When doing it though, you really have to be aware of holding in your stomach and doing the moves the way they are supposed to be done. As with any exercise, if you slack on the movements you will not get the results.
