Requirements
- Because Pilates is a relatively gentle form of exercise, you do not need to be young or slim. If you have a history of injury, or physical limitation, or if you are pregnant, it is recommended that you consult your GP or physician before embarking on any exercise program in order to asses the suitability of various movements for your body. Once you have received the all clear, regular practice will help you to achieve your fitness goals more quickly, and will assist you in the maintenance of optimum body balance. Three to four times a week if possible. Adapt the step by step directions to suit your physical capabilities and fitness levels. The Pilates mat work out is designed to allow you to proceed through the exercises at your own pace. Build up to the entire exercise program gradually, adding repetitions as you get stronger – but – remember that less is more “quality not quantity”
