What should I expect from..
 

Pilates. I have my first class tonight and I just wanted to know from a few pwople who have tried it what results they saw as well as any pointers.

Thanks! :)

I haven't done pilates before so I'm sorry I'm no help BUT I've heard that it is great shaping and toning exercise! Let us know

Hi Sugar Apple, what did you think of your Pilates-class? Did you like it?
And is there anybody else here that has done Pilates – either mat-work classes or apparatus training? And could you tell me which you prefer, and why?
I’m a complete newbie to Pilates.

I just did a weekend-course this weekend, and I’m a bit stiff today so I’m definitely thinking that the exercises were effective. The class I took lasted for 1,5 hours both days, and we didn’t use any other equipment than the mats.
I have done yoga before, and a few of the exercises reminded me a bit about that. But there was a lot of good exercises for developing strength, and I really liked all the stretching at the end. It was a good class, so I think I’m going to sign up for the longer course that starts after summer.
