Pilates Is A Lifestyle

Pilates has changed me. I have all the tapes, mat work, and just recently purchased Romana's Pilates Powerhouse Mat Work, box and pole, you name it. Pilates is not like working out. It is a lifestyle. I love it. It is calming and easily done, no pounding on joints. I am a medical transcriptionist sitting long hours and could have a big backside, but Pilates has maintained my weight of 123 pounds and I am in the "over 50" age range. I also do free weights and ball exercises, Pilates and Corel Secrets, but all this started with Pilates.

I have been doing Pilates daily for four years. I love the cardioboard for aerobics and when I first got it, I could only do 5 minutes at a time. It is very aerobic, and I thought I was fit. There are not enough good words to say about Pilates. It has changed my life. I was a yo-yo dieter and now Pilates has helped me maintain. I do weight training (10 pounds too),  I never could do more than 5 pounds before. Keep up the Pilates shows. Before I end, I have to say I love this website. Thank you Marjolein for your hard work on it. It is my homepage. Helene, loyal Pilates enthusiast for lifestyle in San Diego, CA
