Answer by Betty B
Yes, Pilates work.

I’m autodidact (self-taught) so I’m always like “buy a book”.

Try a Pilates for beginners’ book, there are tons of them but the only one I have is the 2001 Kellina Stewart one and is good…I have no idea about the other books.

That book is a good introduction to Pilates, you do not need any equipment, and it is a sturdy spiral-bound book that has an easel-style system so it can stand on the floor, at eye level.

I believe pilates does require equipments. I suppose that’s the main difference between pilates and yoga.

A chair is nothing like a pilates chair, pilates chairs dont even LOOK like chairs. So I would say yes if it calls for a pilates chair – then you need one, you can’t use a normal chair. I suggest looking on craigslist, in the newspaper, thrift stores, etc for a much cheaper one though!
