Friends have said I'm more toned and I feel that. Also it is an escape from routine!! I like Shouder bridge the most and the plank. I like holding tennis ball between ankles least as I have tender spot there.

It definitely helps you to lose weight as before starting Pilates in january 2007 I had stubbornly remained at a certain weight for a while and now I'm below that. My stomach isn't as bad now too. Of course diet and other exercise(I walk) is important too. I've got 2 weddings to go to that's a big incentive to lose weight.

i can't say there is anything i dislike- I wish I could go to more!

I do get worried I don't do the exercises correctly, but I am really enjoying the classes- it relaxes me, it tones me; I don't go "oh no, I can't be bothered tonight".
I am far more aware of my posture & what helps & hinders my body, which I find really interesting.

Thank you Neil!!

Hey Neil, just to say, The "Back to Basics moves" class was really good- the Scissors move was class as well as the one for mobility in the spine, sitting, crossed arms in front- I dont think i've felt a stretch like it in my spine, it felt great!, as well as a good few others- I forget all the names! And I'm really starting to "enjoy" the pilates version (can't remember the name!!) of Downward Dog! Because I know it has good benefits for me- thank you so much! Your are a great, encouraging teacher. Can't wait for the Video movements to go up!!
