I've heard pilates is "fun." So, I'm going to be reporting my thoughts and progress for all of you.

1/21/04--ordered winsor pilates 3 DVD set online. Expect delivery in 4-7 business days. I'm tired of going to my gym in this cold weather. I'd rather work out in the privacy of my own house.

what's camp jim?

1/26/03--Did Pilates for the first time. It wasn't very hard, but does a lot of good stretching. I didn't feel like I had a good workout, but I do feel more relaxed. I'll continue to do it 3 or 4 times a week and see what happens. I'm afraid I may get bored.

TG-camp Jim is a show on MTV and Jim is a cheerleading coach...it's entertainment at its best...check Jim out on mtv.com

how long was the video?

i'd heard that they were pretty upbeat and would get you winded.

maybe you were watching it in slo-mo

[rmartino]

it was 57 minutes...it's kind of upbeat...but I wouldn't say got me winded...It worked out certain muscles pretty good, but didn't wear me out like a regular gym workout would.

1/24/03--received the Pilates in the mail. Opened to take a look, but haven't done it yet.

1/28/04--did the 57 min work out again last night. From beginning to end you can tell you're stretching more, but I don't know about getting toned...you can feel certain parts of the body getting a work out, but not all i.e. the arms get no workout using pilates. It's mostly butt, thighs and abs.
