Does pilates work?

[Phokus]

My girlfriend started doing pilates and she says it really works everything hard. There's a girl at work who does it who has a really nice body. Anyone with any experience? I'm thinking of doing it, but i guess i'm holding back because it seems kinda girly to me.

Pilates works.
Yoga works.

And if you have any minor back problems, both will help make them go away.

If yourself concious get a video or two and do it in your own room.

So you want a body like the girl at work? 😕

My wife goes to two sessions per week.

She said that its tough in the beginning and you'd notice muscles that you didn't know existed.

Let's just say that I'm a happy camper with her and her pilates 🙂

Oh......and by the way, her class is all women. I can see it to be a nice place to meet someone...already all sweaty and relaxed.

Yeah but you can't pass gas like you can doing weights.
