Anyone here do Pilates?


It seems like it's more of a women's thing....never see any guys doing Pilates. I'm thinking of signing up for some classes - I wonder how hard it will be on my bad knees?

it won't be bad on your knees, i don't think. your neck might take a hit, since pilates is "core" (read: stomach muscles) driven.

No. No Pilates. But if you need help getting your Squat to 400 pounds or your Bench Press up above 315....let me know.

I wish I was a Pirate. Then I could get with chicks like that one in Pirates of the Carribbean. Right now I'm just Slumpbusting.

Um....you're only supposed to have to slumpbust once. That should end the slump, hence slumpbusting.

Update: So I've been doing the Pilates thing for a few weeks (or was!).

The first class I forgot to bring my mat and the darn floor was pretty hard. The back of my hip (above the tailbone) felt sore and bruised for the next few days. No problem, suck it up, and go to next class.

By last week I had severe sciatica pain and have been taking anti-inflammatories and muscle relaxants. Today it finally feels better; I really think excerise is detrimental to your health.

I'm sorry it sucked for you. Pilates is pretty hard-core.

I was about to make a Pirates joke, but it looks like I already did.

Not to mention my knee hurts and the ball of my foot hurts also (why? I have no idea. Must be gettin' old).

Is that before or after you eat that tub of fat-laden macaroni salad?
