Pilates

^^ Hindi rin ako flexible sis pero I can do *some* of the Pilates exercises din naman. Sanayan lang. The Pilates for Dummies workout video helps talaga especially for beginners.

hi. yes tama si m_lim.  you don't need to be flexible to be able to learn pilates.  almost anyone can learn and practice pilates.  the more important goal is strength.  flexibility can be attained with consistent practice, too. 

actually some very flexible people have difficulty practicing pilates, too, especially if they do not have strength.

good pilates instructors should be able to assess and handle any body type, whether flexible or not so flexible.  you can't force tight muscles to go beyond their ability to stretch kasi you might pull something, injury pa ang result, which is bad.

for all you know, you're flexible and just need to constantly exercise to reduce the tightness in specific muscles.

OK  nga yung Pilates for Dummies!!

Simple sha!!

[bitt3rswit]

oh i see. naku, strength pala talaga yung kailangan. madedevelop din ba ang strength pag nag pilates?

[amparoxoxo]

girls! i inquired sa PurePilates. P1300 pag private session, P1800 pag duet, P650 pag group. pero hindi pwede mag group agad kung wala pang experience. maybe because hindi makakasunod sa flow ng class.

depende daw kung gano kabilis matuto at gano ka flexible bago makapag group class.

so sino dito interested sa duet? para P900 each tayo. PM me!

OH MY GEEZERS!!! i like i like i like!!! kaya lang nakabaon pa ako sa fitness first till February 2009, hay buhay! i want talaga to join!!!

Yes definitely, pilates builds strength if done correctly and consistently.

I'm glad I stumbled upon this thread. Maganda naman ang mga feedback ninyo so I guess mag-e-enroll na rin ako sa Bravura kahit na medyo malayo from me. Excited na ako!

sis m_lim, tuwing kelan ba ang sked? kasi baka august pa macancel yung FF ko e and by that time iba na naman ang shift ko huhu gusto ko na talaga magconcentrate sa pilates. and yun nga, ang laking tipid ko, supermegaworkout pa ang katawans ko. di tulad sa FF kailangan may beinte-mil ka para asikasuhin ka ng trainer

[m_lim]

[whipsmart]

i'm such a convert of pilates! i've been doing one-on-one sessions once a week since end of october 2007 and i think my body improved immensely as i prefer a long and lean look which pilates help me achieve. but i'm going to start doing the one-on-one sessions twice a week starting this week because i have a hard deadline  to achieve. hehe. :p  i go to vivian zapanta's studio in salcedo village, makati and the pricing is according to trainer certification and the number of times per week. i go to a gold certified instructor and his price ranges from around 1160 to 1300. the number is 8867744.

guys, for quicker results, you also need to do cardio. pilates is your resistance/strength training as opposed to doing weights.
