When I look at someone doing Pilates, it doesn’t seem vigorous enough for me. Can Pilates give me a good workout?
When most people start Pilates, there’s a lot of new information for the body to learn, so you probably won’t get an aerobic workout at the beginning. Pilates can be aerobic at the intermediate and advanced levels when the movement patterns become more familiar. Also, Pilates combines stretching and strengthening, using springs and your own body weight as resistance This may appear easier than other forms of exercise, but you actually work harder and more deeply through the muscles. Our best advice is to be patient while your body adapts to something foreign.
