What should I do besides Pilates to get the most well-rounded fitness routine?
This is a frequent question… Well, deciding how much and what type of exercise you do will depend largely on your goals. Pilates is a conditioning exercise and is great for toning. While it is challenging, it is not a cardiovascular exercise like walking, running, biking or swimming.
The most recent guidelines for physical activity, published at health.gov/paguidelines/guidelines, recommend that adults do at least 150 minutes a week of moderate-intensity activity such as walking or moving on a cardio machine. For greater health benefits and addressing issues like weight control, it is suggested that aerobic activity should be increase to at least 300 minutes a week.Â
Pilates is wonderful and addresses many of fitness issues like core strength, flexibility and balance, but make sure you do not replace cardio days.
