I love pilates. At my weight i have to do a beginner full body version. The arm workout and legs workout i can do any level, but with the advanced body workouts, unfortunately, my gut gets in the way. There are just certain positions i cant get in and i am actually pretty limber for my size. So you might want to start off with a beginners dvd. I recommend Winsor pilates, i have had this dvd forever and LOVE it on rainy days.
It is a nice workout and you will feel it the next day, particularly if you are new to exercise. I alternate with Gunner Petersons' Core Secrets, using a stability ball. Its a nice change of pace when i get bored with pilates.
I would definately give it a try.
