Hi! I am Dory, your personal Pilates instructor, and I am going to take you through a basic Pilates work out. I have been teaching Pilates for years and group exercise classes. But today, I am going to take you through a great work out, whether you are an average fitness buff, or someone who is just getting into fitness. Theres something in this workout for everybody. By stabilizing our core, we are going to get a great workout for our entire body. We are going to do everything only eight to ten reps, by taking nice, big, deep breaths. You do not to use exaggerated breathing, you can if you want to, but by breathing nice and comfortably, you are going to get the extra benefit of a really tight mid section. Remember, safety is important, so please consult your physician before you get started. So, all you need to do is workout just where you feel comfortable, if something feels like it does not feel right, go ahead and stop, take a breather and come back to it. Other than that, go ahead and wear comfortable clothing, grab a mat, and let's get started.
