obese but want to start exercising…can I start with Pilates?

Question by huh?: obese but want to start exercising…can I start with Pilates?
Is Pilates a reasonable beginner workout for someone that hasn’t been active in a few years? I’m 5’7″ and about 250 lbs. I can walk for an hour without trouble but have very little flexibility or muscle. Is this a good place to start? If not, what is? Thanks!

You should always consult your doctor if you aren’t sure when starting a new exercise routine, but I think at least beginner’s Pilates is safe for most people. Good job on starting to want to exercise. Remember, if you don’t see results right away, don’t give up!
