Lol, yeah, he died from head trauma after falling over but the report on his death that was leaked said he had a heart attack and conjestive heart failure just before he fell.
He was 72 though which isn't such a bad innings

This is kind of funny. Dude, Pilates is a combination between strength training and core stability training. We have full machines with added weight and over 500 exercises, ALL of which target the core muscles, along with various other parts of the body.
I'm guessing you tried it once, and with a pretty awful instructor. Give it another chance. I've kept people out of spinal surgery for years by training their bodies to support disc herniations. If you train properly, privately and with a qualified instructor, you should absolutely not have any pain from it.
I do agree with one thing though - those celebrities do NOT only do Pilates. In order to get as skinny as they are, they would have to diet and do some form of cardio, too.

We had a "Jiu Jitsu" / "Judo" Instructor come into our "Power Pilates" class...half-way into into it. He grunted "**** this! I rather fight." and left, never saw the guy in that class again, I managed to see him in the sauna, and he shook his head and said "You women are hard-core." :yelrotflmao:
Maybe it's just the "power pliates class" I attend but my trainer is CRAZY; we want to kill her after every workout but what it does to our bodies is amazing!

Don't doubt it for a second.

pilates is definately not a "fad' ......done properly you should not end up with a sore neck, back etc., in fact it has really helped me when I did have back, neck problems. As far as making your body look great, of course you have to watch your diet and try to eat healthy amounts of good food, but believe me, it can improve the look of your body. In my case I'm positive, because a long time back I was doing it and no other real work outs of any kind ...just pilates and correct foods and walking. I got stronger, posture improved alot, and my shape changed, meaning much nicer defined waist etc.....it does improve core strength. Now I run alot and do other forms of working out as well, but pilates will always be something I include....also my chiropractor who is also a certified personal trainer highly recommended it to me. I actually haven't even had to have any chiropractic care in over 2 yrs, and I'm convinced the pilates strengthening has played a big part. I'm sure like anything else, it isn't for everyone, but I think it would be a shame to turn people off pilates before they give it a try.
