Question
I just purchased Windsor pilates. Are you at all familiar with them? I haven't started them yet,and am looking for an experts opinion. Do you think that they actually do what they say (tone body in 20 min. a day)?
Hi Lynn,
Depends on what kind of shape you are in to begin with. If you're real fit, it will have minimal effect. If you havent exercised in 20 years, you'll get some benefit, but it depends on the effort you put into it. Claims for all of these fitness programs on infomercials are exaggerated to encourage sales.
Glad you are motivated to do something though. Get to it and let me know!
