Reformer Pilates

Tori911 · Reformer Pilates

I'm in love!!!!! I have found a studio that offers reformer pilates classes and I LOVE them!!! I feel so good after the class. I definitely feel the workout in all parts of my body---the booty- legs, abs, back and arms. I'm taking 1 private and 1-2 classes a week.

I like cardio but I was getting burned out from lifting weights. I wanted to switch it up. Pilates promotes the body I think is beautiful- long lean muscles. Plus the workout combines strength and flexibilty- it's functional and fluid.

If you get a chance- try to find a class in your area- I think you all would really enjoy it. Like RunnerGirl posted- it's good to mix it up.

they just had on the news last night that you can have an orgasm on the pilates machine! Let me see if I can find that news story

this is all i could find...recap of THE VIEW>..Joy read that you can get an orgasm on a pilates machine and she is mad because she just canceled her gym membership. Rosie said she must be doing it wrong, because it never happened to her. She said that when you do pilates you are supposed to use Kegel muscles or the “stop the pee muscles” which can lead to an orgasm in some people.

The key to pleasure is comfort, practice

I've really enjoyed practicing yoga for years, and a few months ago I decided to try Pilates. They say it's good for your core, and I felt really savvy when I nonchalantly told friends I was "working on my core."

The class seemed relatively similar to yoga, with the downward facing dogs, child's poses and the like, but then I experienced something that had never happened during my hours of practicing yoga.

I had an orgasm.

We were doing an exercise called the teaser (what a fitting name). In the teaser, you begin in a horizontal position with your back on the floor, and you tighten your abdominal muscles until you're balancing on your butt in the shape of a "v."

Suddenly, mid-tease, it happened: I experienced the zenith of sexual satisfaction in a group fitness class. I was touched by the architect of blissful screams and gratified moans found in bedrooms across the globe - but I was in the Student Recreation and Fitness Center.

Somehow I silenced myself and continued the exercise. I don't think anyone in the class noticed my secret moment of joy.

When I shared the experience with my friends, I discovered that having orgasms during activities other than sex is quite common. One friend had one while riding her bicycle. Another had one on a water slide at Wet 'n Wild. A third remembered reading that Nicole Richie has one every time she sits on a tile floor.

After asking myself why Nicole Richie sat on a tile floor in the first place, I wondered, if women can experience these moments of bliss doing everyday activities, why is it so difficult to climax during sex?

I could blame it on guys, because we all know that one of them lost the map to the G-spot a long time ago. But I won't. There's a lot of pressure placed on achieving an orgasm. Guys fear that they're horrible lovers if their girl doesn't climax, and girls are too busy expecting to reach the pinnacle of pleasure.

I've discovered that it's all about comfort.

Think about the best sex you've ever had. It was probably with someone you knew well enough to feel completely comfortable with. And it's likely that you two had been practicing for a while.

So for all you guys and girls out there searching for the best sex ever, I've come up with this equation:

Comfort + Practice = Pleasure.

If you still can't find an orgasm, there's a great Pilates class on Fridays. See you there!

pilates on the reformer offers more resistance than just done on a mat (which just uses your own body as resistance). I am planning to buy a reformer from stott pilates sometime early next year, when I work enough overtime to pay for it & the DVD workouts & manuals.
