It’s been life changing for me, lost 40lbs in a year doing it daily with a good diet. I’m always the only guy in class. Awkward at first but I’m use to it and the ladies don’t seem to mind. Every man over 40 should incorporate it into their routine. Add with weight training and you will have an Amazing physique!

Thats phenomenal, well done 👏👏👏 Personally I wish I'd started a lot younger, I'd have avoided a lot of issues. I began at 28 consistently and it totally changed my life also 🙌 And I 💯 agree combine with weights and ensure adequate cardio for health and wellbeing

Not so many, 150-300 max. I actually have a YT video on rhe subject here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2G5gKKGha-LsLMsi=sxilE7FBVOqPAigN Pilates can aid weight loss, but it will not be the key driver, unless you're going from zero activity to Pilates every day. Even then, it's not going to be the most efficient/effective strategy.

So quick question if I do this consistently for 30 minutes every day when do you think I'll feel or see results?
@pilatesguy
@pilatesguy Ай бұрын
It depends very much on the results you're working towards, and anything you have going on. And once this becomes easy (done peoperly) you'd need to look at progressing the challenge. But generally I'd suggest 8-12 weeks. Most programmes I do are 6-12 weeks. Also every day is good, but 4 -5 times per week will be enough if, realistically, every day might be a challenge to get it in.

Thanks for the comment and feedback! In a face to face class I can be responsive to individuals or even physically adjust peoples position. Online, this all needs to be done verbally! When you're doing the session, trying to just apply the verbal cues as you're continuously working through and applying to your movement is key. This becomes much easier over time. Having said all that, I may just not be the instructor for you, we're all different in our approach

Hey there. Sorry to hear that! Most exercises can be adapted by limiting range of motion, reps, regularity of rest, and level. So yes, certainly using a smaller range of motion could be beneficial. However, with a disc issue you really don't want to push it.

@pilatesguy
@pilatesguy 4 ай бұрын
Don't stress, this is completely normal. Average is around 1.5cm loss in height through mainly disc compressions throughout the day. 3cm is more than average, but if you lift weights or so physical work, it can be more. In theory being more posture aware and having stronger core muscles would reduce the compression and potentially make a small difference. Hope that helps! Not sure this has been studied though

Do you mean like massage etc provided by a physiotherapist? I think it's always a good idea to be guided by a good professional. The kind that works with you, motivates and advises you, not just someone who puts their hands on you then off you go. I have a chiropractic every 12 weeks and a sports massage too which I find helps a bit. What you do yourself is the 90% of the result you get if that makes sense?
