Question by Q&A Chick: What’s a good, simple, pilates routine that’s easily accessible at home?
I want to start pilates, but have no time to buy the necessary equipment most routines come with…much less take classes.

What’s a simple routine that I could do on just my living room floor?

Pilates is good, but not the best. A combination of weightlifting and cardio would be better and faster though. Get some weights and do squats and lunges, and try to do 20-30 min of cardion (running, biking ect) every other day. That should help

Pilates- can you recommend a good DVD for beginners please?

Question by mojo jo jo: Pilates- can you recommend a good DVD for beginners please?
i got ‘Pilates body in motion’ BY Alycea Ungaro out of the library and the introduction to it made me really excited and positive that pilates is for me but i was so fed up when i couldn’t even do the very first exercise ( page 26 preparation exercise) as my abdominal muscles must be really weak,( i am fairly fit) it is just impossible for me to sit up from a lying down position with out using my legs to help me. So anyway i don’t want to just give in and thought that following a DVD would be better than trying to do it step by step from a book. Can anyone recommend a DVD for beginners that really helps the viewer to understand what they need to do and what they should be checking ( posture) and does Alycea uNGARO HAVE A DVD?
THANK YOU ALL IN ADVANCE 🙂
