THe best place is to ask around your local excercise locatons. THere are many different pilates mat classes is you just take the time to look around..
Any diet you stick to is usually the best plan. However, the most common coupling between diet and pilates is the Winsor Pilates diet plan. I used a low calorie diet with pilates and lost wieght rather quickly. The nice perk with this combination is you will not only loose wieght you will also firm up as you go along.
Not at all actually some of the most fit people are people that use their own body weight to excercise like Hershal Walker Ex- Dallas Cowboy never touched weights guy was a machine.
yes
As long as your doctor has released you to exercise you will be fine to join a basic pilates class. The instructor should be trained to work with people of all fitness levels. The best thing to do is look up videos of beginning pilates classes to be able to visualize what the basic classes do. I am sure if your doctor says you can...you will be able to do the basic. Don't be intimidated!
The best pilates video is the Pilates for beginners which is 17.99 on amazon.com
Pilates work out online is a website where you can find a Pilates of workouts online which you can do in front of your computer. You don't need to go to the gym, stay at home and at the same time you could make yourself physically fit.
