Hi friends,
I've recently started doing Pilates with a Pilates chair I bought for home use. I love it, but every time I do a workout, I end up with a headache. I imagine this is either due to improper breathing or from bending down with the spring resistance? Any pointers for a newbie?
Thank you in advance.

    What is your water intake like?
    If I am not generally well hydrated and then work out I can get a slight headache.
    Drink water and work your way slowly into the routine if it is new.

    Cheers, h.

    Thank you, yeah, haven't had much water lately. But just seems odd. It happened again this morning. :/

    I have a problem holding my breath when I do yoga sometimes because I'm unsure where to breathe during some of the moves. It can, at times, make me a little dizzy. I've found that breathing is important! :)
