Q&A: Does anyone know of a good pilates work out?

Question by S: Does anyone know of a good pilates work out?
I’m a ballet student and am needing to incorporate an ab workout into my routine. I’m looking for a short (about a half an hour) workout that’s effective, maybe at an intermediate or advanced level. I’ve already developed my abdominal muscles to some extent, but I’ve heard that pilates can really “shock them into shape” and that pilates is good for dancers. Any suggestions?

Pilates won’t “shock them into shape” – that’s a common misconception. And it certainly won’t give you a six-pack,because it works on the deep core muscles.

The other point about Pilates exercises is that if you don’t do them exactly right, they do no good at all.

I’d recommend you book one private lesson with a Pilates instructor. As a dancer, you’ll pick up the correct form and you’ll then be able to practice on your own.

I want to find a nice studio that offers one-on-one Pilates training. I don’t like to be in crowded gyms that end up being meat markets. I also want an instructor that is certified. I live in Sacramento, CA.

Thanks!

There’s a really good studio over by Peet’s coffee in the Lyon Village. It’s called Purely Pilates and it’s run by a girl by the name of Kelly. Very clean and she offers one-on-one lessons if you want that.

YES!! Brian Kest’s Power yoga. It has 3 workouts and the beginners is informative and still challenging for non-beginners. He’s kinda annoying, but really knows his stuff. You’ll love it.
