1) There is no pain in Pilates. If you feel it, stop or modify the move. The last time someone worked through the "pain" with out alerting the teacher, she had to go to physical therapy again. She knew she had shoulder problems and that pain was the signal to stop but she ignored the wisdom of her body.
2) Always let the instructor know if you have a physical weakness, past surgery, or injury.
3) Do as many of the reps as you can but drop out when you've had enough, especially for beginners.
4) Listen to the instructors directions and keep your mind in the workout. Pilates is very much about the mind and body connection.
And always remember...
