6 Tips to Make Your Pilates Beginners Experience More Successful
 |
Wear comfortable clothing that is loose, but not overly baggy. You need to be able to see your body to judge whether or not you are doing the exercise correctly. |
 |
Do your Pilates workout in bare feet or socks with anti-skid treads on them. You want your feet free to flex and extend them as needed. |
 |
Work on an exercise mat, rug or carpet. This protects your spine and is generally more comfortable than bare floor. You can also use a thick blanket or several large towels. |
 |
Always do a series of warm-up stretches before you begin any exercise routine. Warm muscles are less susceptible to injury. |
 |
Any time an exercise causes you pain or discomfort, stop immediately. Never try to work through the pain. Pilates is all about listening to your body. |
 |
Take as much time as you need to learn and master the series of exercises. As long as you are using smooth, flowing movement, proper breathing, and engaging your core muscles, your body is benefiting from Pilates. |
