Pilates

Who would have thought that this machine could cause so much pain?? Last night some friends and I took our first real pilates class. I want to first say that about a month ago I finished the entire P90X system. I was in pretty good shape. Since then I have only ran a couple times a week so I have lost a lot of the muscle. Well, within the first 10 minutes of the pilates class my legs were uncontrollably shaking! I kept thinking that it was WAY harder then P90X! It was super hard but I loved it. You can totally feel your core getting stronger with every move. I have 5 more classes and I'm looking forward to them! I now want to get a pass for unlimited classes. Too bad it's $200 a month!!

I've done Pilates just on a mat at a Gold's workout class before, and felt like it was just about the same difficulty/strength building as yoga. Have you ever done mat Pilates like that, and if so, how did they compare to an actual studio with the full-on machine like this? From your post, it seems like it must be a whole different story when you're on the machine. Seems really awesome, though!
