I have never heard of a Pilates machine, I thought Pilates was a series of intense movements to isolate strengthen your core?
I would LOVE to own a Fluidity bar though!

My Mom let me borrow her treadmill because she doesn't have room for it right now. It's still sitting in the middle of my bedroom making it hard to get around the bed. I turned the light off the other night and tripped and fell on it! Guess I need to get it placed somewhere else!!!! Maybe today!!!

Here is a link to see what this is like: http://www.staminaproducts.com/produ...55-4650&SPEC=Y Works kind of like the Total Gym using your own body weight for resistance. Check it out, you'll be surprised by what it can do. Might like it! |

The gym where we go offered a Pilates class with the machines. I never took it because it was way to expensive. Spinning (indoor cycling) and other classes are included in your membership, but pilates was extra. If I remember right, it was $125/week or something outrageous like that. It sounded like a really good workout though and would like to have tried it.
If you get the machine, let me know how you like it.

I wouldn't waste money on the machine. All you need is the big rubber ball, the stretch band and a good dvd. My daughter has been doing pilates for a few months. I tried it once....wanted to die! I didn't even finish it. But it is an excellent workout.

I really need to exercise, but I just don't do it alone. I love exercising with a friend or with a group, I'm just not going to pay to go someplace to exercise when I could do it at home. I just need to get off my butt and do it.

I've never liked to exercise. Now, I have an auto immune disease and I can't do much in the way of physical activity. One of my docs suggested mild, beginer pilates. HUH! I couldn't have done that stuff before I got sick, forget now!
