Pilates

I know the guys in here don't do it :lol: But I was wondering if any of the girls do?

I am starting tomorrow at a studio called Pilates Bodies in South Tampa near my house. Its kind of expensive but its 1 on 1 and isn't mat pilates like my gym offers. I'm really excited about doing it. I used to do yoga but I know this is pretty different. Anyone else do it? I hope to do it 2 times a week and continue what I am doing at my gym. Will I see results from only doing it twice a week or should I try for 3? I just don't want to spend a lot of money on this on top of what I already spend for my gym membership!

i actually DO do pilates AND yoga. having a strong flexible abdominal muscle / core is one of the best ways to prevent injuries such as a hernia.

they also reduce stress for me.

i :love: pilates!!! I only have the viedos :lol: but they make it looks so effortless and its not easy! I love it though.

As well, it helps me relax!

Thats awesome, I didn't think any guys would do it.

I know when I did yoga, which was a few years ago, It was the best stress reliever in the world.

So do you think twice a week at this studio will be enough? After having a baby and c-section it seems I cant get my stomach back to where I want it to be.

I went this morning and it was awesome. Ive never done anything like that with the machines they have. In my opinion it was worth what I paid. I feel like it was a good overall body workout and then I went to the gym and did cardio. I bought a package of sessions so I am very excited to continue doing it and see what results I can get!!

I did belly dancing last night and I must say it was amazing.
