Question by NONAME: How long should it take for me to get results from my pilates exercise?
How many times should I do it a week? I’m currently doing it for twenty minutes 4 days a week? Does that sound good or should I do more? If so how much more? I have asthma so I have a limit, I’m 16 and I will NOT take diet pills!
I’m not a fatty you small sized 15 year old!

PS

Don’t worry the other one will drop someday (hopefully)!
I barely eat anything anyways!

Serously though eventually it will drop (maybe!!!!!!!!!!)

Sounds like a good start. Keep that up and don’t overdo it with your asthma and all. I would think you might see some results in 3 or 4 weeks maybe. Don’t give up if results don’t come as soon as you’d like, hang in there!

Question by ♪♫♪: How many minutes of pilates should I do?
I am wanting to put pilates in my work out routine. I do 45 minutes of cardio a day and was going to start doing pilates, but how many minutes of it should I do? I planned on doing it 5 days a week after I do my cardio. Also, anyone who has done pilates, how long did it take until you started seeing results?

Question by Jedi Girl: How long should I do my pilates work out?
I am 5’2 and weigh 127 pounds. I want to lose between 10-15pounds in time for the summer. I walk at 3 miles per hour on the treadmill for 20-40 minutes everyday and I do pilates for around 15 minutes. Should I do pilates longer?

My advice – and it’s only advice – you should up the intensity a bit on the treadmill by increasing the incline a bit. I was told by a personal trainer that working at a slightly slower pace but steeper incline does sometimes help to burn more calories. I did notice I sweat more during those workouts. Or – do that every other day, just to change it up.

As for pilates, it depends on what exactly you are doing for pilates. Pilates is great and you can get a workout in only 15 minutes, but you have to be doing the absolute best exercises and really focusing on them. Let me know what you are doing and I can easily give you more information! Most of my pilates clients either need a variation to make their workout more challenging! Are you following a DVD or other video from the web?
