    Pilates as a workout

    Now, I consider myself a pretty sound judge of a good workout. I don't always do them like I should, but I certainly know when one is a good one versus something that is an incredible waste of time. I have attended both Yoga and Pilates classes out of curiosity and I will be honest in saying that Pilates is not an easy class.  I left there feeling like I had stretched muscles and worked areas that I might have been missing at other times. I don't know if it is something I could stick to because I didn't find myself enjoying it much, but I wouldn't rule it out as an option in order to liven the routines up a bit. Has anyone else had experience with it?

    To be honest, whether it is a good workout or not, I would never attend a pilates session. They have make it difficult for any man to attend because they give the impression that it is woman's exercise. It probably could be a great workout and I see many people at the gym getting fit by doing pilates, but other than if I had to for a training or something, I wouldn't say it was for me.

    I attended an aerobic class in my school to tell you the truth i was the only guy in a class of 35. It was very intimidating some of the ladies even thought i was gay. Pilates I always thought it was a ladies thing, i even attempted Tae-bo it was all the same. I however came to this conclusion ladies are the major people who try to loose weight. Most girls try to loose weight and go any length to do it, thats what i feel says it all.

    Pilates is a good workout procedure sure about that but i 'd suggest soccer training session as the best work out procedure.  Have u ever seen soccer players train if you haven't seen you can check out football training session by the time you are through you wont think of pilates again.

    Well ladies try to loose weight thats why they are seen in most fitness programs. They have ability to generate more sales and also for guys to watch the weight loss programs to see sexy curvy ladies. Pilates is a man and he invented the procedure for both sexes, its not a woman thing.
