    I Recommend Pilates

    People talk about core stability. I work in the clinic on improving Athletes & the general publics core stability, I do however work along side A Pilates expert and rate Pilates as on of the best methods of core stability training around, would recommend all runners try it once a week.

    Re: I Recommend Pilates

    I teach Pilates and I can second this. As a 21 year old runner a few years back, I was suffering from lower back pain. Took up Pilates, learnt it, taught it and no back problems since with hardly any injuries. I would invite you all to be classes however I very much doubt you will travel to Welwyn for a go.

    How often a week would you say and how long a session and how long before you would have a relatively decent core based on the previous questions. Of course assuming teacher knows what they are doing and what qualification should we be looking for.
    They called me mad and i called them mad and damn them they outvoted me !!!.
