Are you one of the many girlies getting excited about Pilates<\/a> right now? There\u2019s good reason to be. This workout modality (which, for the record, is the fastest-growing over the past five years) is a great way to build core strength<\/a>, flexibility<\/a>, mobility<\/a>, and mind-muscle connection. That\u2019s why Nike trainer Tara Bethune calls it her \u201cfoundation\u201d for all the other workouts she does. \u201cWhile Pilates is obviously a physical exercise, there’s a lot of thinking about the body in a different way,\u201d she says. \u201cJust from that alone, you’re going to be more in-tune with your body.\u201d<\/p>\n

While you might be enjoying (or at least tolerating) the shakes and quakes and burn that come with a good Pilates session, you also might be wondering at what point you\u2019ll start to notice all those wonderful benefits everyone\u2019s raving about.<\/p>\n

The Benefits Of Consistent Pilates, Week By Week<\/strong><\/p>\n

First thing\u2019s first: You have to do Pilates<\/a> with some level of consistency to see results. For beginners, two sessions a week is a good amount to build a strong foundation, says Laura Quinn, CPT, head Pilates trainer at Alo. But, over time, you can increase your frequency to as often as four times per week\u2014just make sure you\u2019re giving yourself enough rest, too. \u201cRest is absolutely a part of the process,\u201d Quinn says.

Whether you\u2019re new to exercise or just new to Pilates, you can expect to see benefits pretty quickly. \u201cIt\u2019ll start with little things like standing and sitting taller or feeling your abs engaged like you’ve never felt before,\u201d says Quinn. Eventually, you\u2019ll also see better flexibility and light muscle definition. Beginner exercisers might enjoy some newbie gains, but even those who are already active will see benefits.
