Difference between Beginners and Intermediate Pilates

Macy0161

Hi,

Rejoining the gym after a bit of a break, and the schedule has changed and what was a beginners pilates is now intermediate (beginners time will not work for me). Is there likely to be much of a step up between the two classes?

It's a few months since I did a class, but at the time I was generally doing the progression in the beginners class, and in the meantime I have been doing Strength and Conditioning classes, working on flexibility etc..

So will I be able to cope/ will they give alternatives?

Thanks

So how did you get on? I would guess the Intermediate class would suit fine.

That's a pity. Pilates is great and a wonderful way to keep strong, healthy and sane! Get back into it!

I would encourage you to get back into it. I've been doing it for over 3 years now, and it became part of my rehab after my bad cycling accident. When I did start (which was perhaps 10 months after the accident) I went straight into the second class up, as they said I was probably too strong for the beginners class. I slotted in easily at that level.

It's run by physios who will always adapt for whatever injury I may be suffering from. You're a cyclist though and should have more than basic fitness if you've been doing much on the bike. I guess it does though depend on the instructor

beauf

I usually just rest when they do something more advanced than I feel I can do.

I stopped mine a while ago, let other things take priority and I regret it now.
