How many times per week should I do pilates?

Dolce_Vita asked:


So I just got started on it yesterday and loved it (bought a couple dvds). I am really sore from it today. Is it okay if I do it everyday for 5 days a week, or should I do it every other day to let my muscles rest? I am not sure what the appropriate schedule is for pilates. Thanks.

   some people do it every other day. but u dont have to. 5 days a week will work, but make sure you rest the other two days.

   Doing it 4 times a week will be enough for you to start seeing results.
   I do it every other day.

   i do it 3 days a week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday), giving my body a day in between to rest as well as the weekend. if you do it too frequently, you will hurt a muscle or tear a ligament or cartilage, which is not good at all.
