Questions on Pilates

[ckanuckel]

It seems like in every magazine you read about a celebrity they all swear by Pilates. It's not something I've done so any thoughts, comments and suggestions on good dvds

Mari Winsor has a good series, and is my personal favorite.

Pilates is a nice thing to incorporate into a routine, but if you want to build stregth and cardio, you'll need your Cathe, too.

For core strength and conditioning, you can't beat Pilates. I take a class 2 - 3 times a week (for the last 6 years) from a good certified Pilates instructor. I never got the benefit from the DVDs because you don't get the instruction that you need at the beginning. Probably now I could do a good DVD, but I still prefer the class.

Please note that I do Pilates IN ADDITION to the strength and cardio DVDs that Cathe offers. It's a great combination! Pilates is NOT sufficient by itself, however.
