Pilates anybody?

Anyone on this site do Pilates? I am considering this.

Any and all comments/suggestions welcome.

Thanks

I tried it once, Earline, and it was interesting and, I thought, potentially very beneficial. Unfortunately, I didn't continue with the classes so I really can't give you a fuller evaluation.

Best wishes,

Jim

Thanks for your input. I was going to try tomorrow but since I've had a tooth pulled today I may wait until Thursday.

Again thanks

I can't help either ... it looks like good exercise ........ at least it seemed to work for the girls on the video

I think any form of stretching and light weights is super beneficial.
As we get "older" we may need to be careful of our limits....I know if I tried to do the exercises on the large inflated ball, that I would probably put my back out!

I did it for a while and it was actually my favorite form of exercise I've ever tried. I felt really great afterwards. Are you going to someplace that actually has the equipment as well or just "floor work"? If you can get on a reformer, I think you will really like it.

Would that be a protestant reformer?

To be perfectly honest I don't know if it's just floor work or if there's a reformer. My DIL is a pilates instructor and has been after me. I'm really not doing much in the way of exercise so I thought I'd give it a try. I have osteo and she claims it is very good for that so I guess I'll give it a shot.

I was going to start tomorrow (Tuesday) but had a tooth pulled today and it seems another tomorrow as well so I may start on Thursday.

Thanks for the feedback
