Question by chica™: what do u think of pilates?
does i really work like they say? i’ve read a couple of books and it said that that was the only exercise u need (no cardio or strength, etc). But i thought cardio was very important so what’s good doing pilates and cardio like running or just pilates alone?

Pilates is GREAT! It works out every muscle in you body. I took a course at school and our instructor worked us out! At first it may seem that it’s not doing anything, but just wait until you wake up the next morning………OUCH!

I’m pretty sure I know the answer to this one but I’d like to see if anyone else has some additional ideas (some of you have some really great ideas as I monitor and participate in this site, you may be able to remind me of something I’ve forgotten).

I need to lose about 50-80 lbs, but everytime I start to exercise (ie, treadmill, weights, floor exercises, pilates & yoga to name of few) I end up with muscle spasms, hips going out because of the constant slamming on the treadmill, etc. Helpful suggestions appreciated I’m also almost 50 and I don’t feel that is old but I do know I’m not in the kind of shape I need to be in to have a good quality of life that we all look forward to in retirement.

ABSOLUTELY!! I have a great video and it helped me tone my stomach muscles extremely well. I could feel it wokring all over.

Books would be harder for me but I loved working along with the video.
