Pilates mostly works on your flexibility and improves muscle tone. It is a low impact exercise routine. It targets a specific muscle group at a time. However, it is still good to do some cardio workout 2-3 times per week (such as brisk walking, running, cycling, or playing other sports).

I've been doing some off and on for a few months. It's worth it. I had some problems with my back and when I started doing some of the exercises I felt better. I like it because I have a dvd that tells me how to do moves; so I don't have to use any of those comfound machines I see in the exercise mags. I only do the moves I can do, as well. I think it's a good way to condition your muscles and build strength.

Pilates was developed for ballet dancers. It's a way to build strenght without getting bulky muscles. From what I've heard, it can be very effective but classes can be more expensive that other kinds of exercise classes.

Yes. Pilate is a good exercise.

I love it. Pilates is how I returned to my pre-baby shape.
