anything that involves lying on your belly or flat on your back. Just ask the instructor prior to starting the class I bet s/he will be of great help.

Question by Megs Golightly: Is there a limit to how many times a week one should practice Pilates?
I love doing Pilates. As a former ballet dancer, it is a way to retain my flexibility and lean muscles. I have heard warnings, though, that practicing Pilates too often can cause the abdominal muscles to overly form and cause the stomach to look larger because of the muscle. I’m just curious– what exactly is too often?

I’ve never heard anything like that. I have heard and read that you only need 30-45 minutes a few times a week for the benefits to be fine. However, most people love doing them and continue to do them daily, and there really isn’t any harm.
