Pilates anyone?

[bridgetjones]

I found pilates last year and havent looked back since. The attraction was that it all seemed slow and mostly on the mat
How pilates differs to say body building is that it builds strength from the inside out, and can have a visibly powerful effect on the shape and even height of our bodies using carefully controlled movements to build a leaner, stronger and more flexible body. It is actually quite a workout and i have seen some great results from it.
Who else partakes?

I haven't tried it yet but I know it is the latest craze. Do you need any special equipment for that or can you do it on your own?

I stick to yoga and stretching. Havn't tried out pilates yet. How log does an entire routine last? And are there any equipments needed like steppysteph asked. I wouldn't mind trying it out if you say it builds inner strength and a leaner,stronger and flexible body. It is better to be a blade of grass in a storm rather than a tree.
