I know there have been posts before, but I can't find them and I reallyyyy need help getting back on th wagon.... it's miles away and simply a mirage now.

I bought a jogging stroller, so that will help me out with walking... and I have a stationary bike...

But, I have been interested in Pilates for a while.. since I have heard that it REALLY works. I have heard Winsor Pilates is great.. but, I need someone to give me a title/link.. just point me in the direction and I'll buy it! There are so many titles, and I have no idea which is good for beginners, but still effective.

TIA!

I don't do a lot of Pilates yet and am looking to get more into it. I have never done Winsor Pilates. I do have a good intro level dvd by Denise Austin called Pilates For Every Body. It only requires a resistance band and a chair. I actually did it today for the first time in a long time. I did it right after I had my first DD a couple years ago and I saw almost immediate (w/i 2 weeks) results.

You will probably find a lot of info in the Exercise forums here = http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=177. Take a look around there.

But it's good.

But I just wanted to add that I do Pilates but by Crunch. It's called "pick your spot" Pilates and it's cool. I like it but it's starting to flicker and I guess I scratched it so I am thinking of picking up this other Pilates DVD. I don't think it matters by whom.. just maybe look at your local WalMart?

Oh, and I LOVE Pilates! It's wonderful! I haven't done it since Monday and my abs still have a bit of a burn to them and it is fun to do.

I have the "Pick your spot pilates" and I love it!I like that you can work out all three target areas(abs,butt,thighs)all in one 30 minute workout,or you can pick a certain one to work on.

I normally use the advanced winsor, but I also have a thing about buying every pilates dvd i find and about a week ago i found one called "You can Do Pilates." Its a Leslie Sansone (from walk away the pounds) and it basically contains 2 workouts, one w/ bands, one without; the workouts introduce you really to the fundamentals of pilates. I would probably say that it is perfect for a beginner, i'm planning on purchasing several more copies to give to some of my friends who have been meaning to start.
