HappyGrace Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 I'd like to start this but want to make sure I'm using correct form and I've heard that some are better than others for this. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSNative Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Stott pilates is excellent and the videos I've seen (matwork and flex-band) are very good. You are wise to steer clear of a lot of them. A friend got Denise Austin's video. Ugh. Do you have a pilates studio in your area that will allow you to drop in for one class? If you have an instructor work with you (even in a class situation, not personal training), you will get so much more out of your pilates work. Well worth the 20 bucks or whatever they charge per class. If you do choose to do this, talk to the instructor ahead of time and let him or her know that you are new, want to learn proper form and encourage him/her to correct you. If you don't do this, many instructors will just fix any dangerous postures but not nitpick on your form because they want you to have a positive class experience. Then as you come to more and more classes, they will perfect your form. You want them to know that you came to class to learn and want them to really work on your form. Instructors love this and will be thrilled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
