Question by Megs Golightly: Is there a limit to how many times a week one should practice Pilates?
I love doing Pilates. As a former ballet dancer, it is a way to retain my flexibility and lean muscles. I have heard warnings, though, that practicing Pilates too often can cause the abdominal muscles to overly form and cause the stomach to look larger because of the muscle. I’m just curious– what exactly is too often?

I’ve never heard anything like that. I have heard and read that you only need 30-45 minutes a few times a week for the benefits to be fine. However, most people love doing them and continue to do them daily, and there really isn’t any harm.

Question by oatmeal55: How many calories does pilates really burn?
I did a 40 minute intermediate level yoga/pilates blend workout today. I weigh 120lbs. I barely broke a sweat. About how many calories do you think I burned?

Answer by JB7392
186.7 calories

If you aren’t feeling anything form the workout, it may be that you need a more advanced, intense workout, or you aren’t completing the moves properly. Most likely, you just need to increase the either the intensity or duration of the exercise.
