    <p>I think it is great that sort of thing. If they had better session time at my Gym, I would also go along.</p>

    <p>I did pilates for 10 years up until work got in the way two years ago.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>the gym sessions are usually just mat work and I prefer the equipment options, but it is great for flexibility, balance and core strength. Really helped with gym sessions as had a much greater awareness of technique and how fucking hard it is to do something slowly.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>then place I went to was really focussed on remedial work and had a lot of elite sports people through (and me).</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Guys like Terenzo Bozzone, Troy Flavell swear by it. Even saw Billy Bowden in there</p>

    Have done a wee bit over the years and yep much harder than it looks. <br><br>
    Wife goes 2 to 3 times a week and can confirm she has exceptional mobility and flexibility.

    Slow and controlled, that's pretty much the key right there. Next session will be over the weekend sometime, I'm nervous already.

    Did a bit when I fooked my back a few years ago - I should do more, especially as my flexibility sucks. Problem is, most of the gym times for the classes suck even more.

    Yep, my flexibility was a bit of a wake up call. The onus is on me to make sure I pester her for at least one full on hard out session a week if she's not too tired from all her other stuff. <br><br>
    We'll hopefully get some Pilates in too.

    Pilates is great. Fixed my wife's lower back problems, great for the core and flexibility. <br><br>
    Been using it for some recovery work the past month, has helped a lot. <br><br>
    Waaaay harder than it looks.

    <p> </p>
    <p>Wouldnt have thought 2 sessions in 2 weeks would make any difference unless you didnt push as hard 2nd time round?</p>

    Tinder is a wonderful thing. Like shooting fish in a barrel. Helps when they look like their pictures too.
