Last weekend I bought a pilates set w/ videos, rubber bands, a ball- the works (luckily it was on big time sale).
I tried it for the first time last night. Yeah... I don't think I am in shape enough to do pilates. It wan't just hard (b/c I am up for a challenge)- quite a bit of it was downright impossible for me to do (ie my body doesn't bend that way, my muscles don't know how to do that, etc.).
I, too, would appreciate any beginners advice! :) I don't want to give up, but man!!

i also want to say that i CANNOT bend like those girls can either, (funny i always imagined i could, until i tried it, lol). i just do the best i can trying to do the same moves... now for some of the really tricky stuff, i just continue to do a move that i can do, until they move onto something else.
ok, does anyone have any *plus size* work outs? any richard simmons or anything, (he might be weird but hey he pays attention to what a fat girl can do! lol) ... or any other work outs that are good but also easy enogh for a + size body.

I haven't done them in forever, I need to get back into it. I really like it and you can feel that it is working, which is the best part!!
