  • Well, I would not call myself an expert at Pilates since I have only ever done the one DVD that I have, but still I really enjoy it. It is not much of a calorie burner like you said, but the stretching feels amazing and if I haven't done it in a while it definitely will make me sore for a few days. It's a good workout for…
