      Windsor Pilates....omg that lady is brutal!! It was over quick though. I was like ok....that's it. Of course this is after i couldnt move my leg. Some of the stuff in the ab work out i had to modify. I tried my best but i guess i'm not as limber as some of those folks on that DVD..not to mention i got about 40 or so lbs on some of them!

        Yeah I hear ya! I have to do the modified too like I am 60 or something, but that is okay. I like the way it is only 20 min. I haven't gotten into the advanced one yet. Good luck- I did my cardio this morning (2 miles on elliptical) so I think i will do the pilates tonight. I might have to write ya back and moan about being sore tomorrow- lol

          Re: Pilates - the aftermath.

          I use an awesome Pilates tape made by Crunch called "Fat Burning Pilates" it's aerobics and standing Pilates moves followed by matwork- it's awesome! I've been doing it for about a month and I can *really* tell a difference in my rear end and my thighs, that's where I've always carried the most weight, definite tightening and less cellulite!! yay!

            I have the entire set of Pilates....... I used to use it until I moved into an apartment waiting for my house to be built, which will be next month. I will finally have ROOM to be able to roll around in a ball and whatnot again. For the time I used it, I LOVED IT!!! Plus its quick, yah may be a lil tough, but stick with it and you'll be leading her in no time

                Re: Pilates - the aftermath.

                Pilates rules for the abdominals, doesn't it? It's great! I've been doing it faithfully, 3 mornings a week, since April 2003. For the first few months, I started out with the 20-minute Intermediate level of Pilates For Dummies. Then about two years ago, I switched over to Winsor Pilates, and have been doing the 20-minute Ab Sculpting DVD ever since (see below for visual). Since I do full-body resistance training 3x/week and cardio 4x/week, abs are all I need to engage for Pilates work. But I know it's incredibly thorough, as the entire torso is given a workout, and the effect is considerably more attractive and feminine than the effect from crunches for the abdominals - I've never done those and never will.

                    You absolutely must have enough room, I remember when i first did them, i was rolling around in a ball, and smacked my head on the coffee table too.... And I yelled for my husband to move the thing...... Kinda got the same response from him, except he said if I really wanted to exercise Id move it myself lol

                          Hey how did your pilates go. I am planning on starting them next week, I do crunches at night and am pretty sore but I think I am ready for that lady. LOL, your powerhouse, know what you mean.

                          Hey I didn't know you were in Houston, me too! That's cool, and you do kinda look like me. Hey, maybe we were seperated at birth.

                              You know, I'd probally be interested in Pilates, and would probally ad them to my exercise regime....

                              But I just can't get over the name....If someone asks me what I do for exercise, I can't imagine myself saying, "pilates, Its so good for my thighs" lol...

                              Maybe I can just call it something else....

                              oh and whats the powerhouse? lol
