Question by No_longer_a_corporate_mom: is Pilates a good exercise for beginners?
I’ve been going to the gym for a while now, but I never took one of their classes because I didn’t want to be the only fat cow in there who wasn’t able to do the moves.Now I’m a (little bit) thinner I’m considering taking a Pilates class tomorrow night-tell me is it hard, Does it really work? Can a beginner do the moves or am I going to be expected to know all these intricate bends and twists? The schedule doesn’t specify if it’s a beginner level class or not.

Pilates can be difficult, but as long as you only do what you can than you will be fine, enjoy the new exercise

Question by Linzy: What’s the best yoga and pilates at home video for beginners?
I want to get started doing some yoga and pilates in my home and I would like to know your opinion on what videos are the best for beginners. I would like videos that are more focused on muscle toning and shaping rather than weight loss as I am 5’8″ and only 110 lbs so no need to lose any more weight!! Also, what equipment do I need besides the mat?

I think you should try The Firm DVD’s. Its a mix of cardio move and pilates so you burn more and tone faster than with pilates alone. I love them they have my legs looking amazing 😀
