Is Pilates 3 times a week enough?
To really feel the benefits of Pilates, it's recommended you should do Pilates at least 3 times a week. But if you're looking to improve your body's strength and flexibility you can increase this to up to 5 times a week. Remember to give your body time to rest throughout the week.
What Pilates does to your body.
Pilates is a great way to relieve tension in your shoulders, back and legs. Those who regularly sit down for long hours at work may find taking a Pilates class is a great way to stretch muscles that have become tight after staying in the same position for too long!
