Pilates

I’d like to talk to you about Pilates; what it’s done for me and how it could benefit you too if you take it up and practise the exercises regularly. Put simply, Pilates has banished my pain; the muscle pain I have held in my neck and back for years. The pain that was the [...]

Palates – A New “Ates”?

by Carol on March 22, 2010

It never ceases to amuse me the number of ways clients ask me about Pilates. From “Do you do Pilots classes” to “I’ve heard about Palates do you teach it”. I get quite a number of visitors to this site who type in “Palates” so I’m not complaining I just hope they weren’t looking for [...]

My Pilates Has Moved

by Carol on March 8, 2010

We’ve moved the MyPilatesForBeginners Web site to a new home. The old one was getting slow and very unreliable. You should notice that pages now load quicker and your experience much improved.

Beginners Pilates – The Zip and Hollow

by Carol on February 25, 2010

This exercise is the most important technique in Pilates that you can learn, in our opinion. I wouldn’t call it difficult, but it can be tricky to get the hang of it at first – it’s a bit like learning to pat your head and rub your stomach at the same time – but once [...]

Pilates, Cindy Crawford And 43!

by Carol on February 16, 2010

Cindy Crawford has reached 43! Now from my point of view that’s young but this Mother of two could easily pass for someone half her age. She attributes her incredible figure to regular exercise including Pilates. So can we assume that she looks this good because of Pilates? I doubt it, Pilates is fantastic but [...]

Poolates – This Is Not A Spelling Mistake!

by Carol on February 9, 2010

Don’t panic. Although my spelling is bad it’s not that bad! It really is Poolates the aquatic version of  Pilates. This swimming pool version of Pilates has been created by Rebecca Pfeiffer (although I’m sure I’ve heard of a similar idea called Swimalates) and uses the same principles as it’s namesake. It claims that even [...]
