KnobbyMech Posted April 13, 2012 Share Did it for almost 2 years, but stopped this year. Cannot believe how stiff I became in such a short time. Funny pains returning. Will start again as soon as I can. Definitely worth the efford. Must just find the dicipline to do it on my own as classes can get pricey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwissVan Posted April 13, 2012 Share Other than the obvious benifets you will gain from improved core strength, you should also improve your flexibility.... Very usefull when it comes to fixing punctures while staying seated on your bike or bending down to tie your shoe laces... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giant Posted April 13, 2012 Share If you are going to do classes at the gym,it is worth spending a few ronts on pvt classes first.Pilates is not just about geting into the position, it is about contracting the right muscles and breathing correctly.If you just join a free group class, you will only get half of what you could out of the classes.

RossW Posted April 13, 2012 Share I have been doing Pilates for around 3 years. It has helped tremendously!The ability to stabilise the core and power through the legs makes a massive improvement. It helps a lot in single track, being able to control your centre of gravity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesley_r Posted April 19, 2012 Share Pilates is excellent - I hurt my back pretty badly a little while back and private / small group (5/6 people) pilates has been part of my recovery - and it's been awesome. Core strength, flexibility and breathing - all great for cycling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
