Can you do too many Pilates Workouts?

Occassionally, someone will ask me this question. Apparently not. Last Thursday, I did four classes throughout the day. I was physically spent by the time I got in the car to drive to New Orleans. But perfecl;y fine. Pilates has been compared to swimming. Do all you want to. From ages 9 or 10 up until I was 13 or 14, I used to spend from around nine o'clock in the morning until around two o'clock swimming. I was happily waterlogged and only got out to eat something. I'd have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and watch a couple of half hour tv shows and go straight back out until supper time. No, I can't do pilates back to back for hours but it is wonderful to know that the more you do Pilates, the more you can do. I experience the same pleasant association with Pilates classes as I did with swimming even at my age. I like the fact that the work I do really isn't work at all. Come learn Pilates and you'll know what I know: do all the Pilates you want to no matter what age you are.
