Guest guest Posted February 3, 2008 Report Posted February 3, 2008 Sounds like you'd be a good candidate for Pilates exercises. Yes, men can do them, too. Excellent for the stomach area. Amber I read that poor muscle tone may keep the gallbladder from emptying completely. The presence of residual bile may promote the formation of gallstones. That kinda makes sense in my case. I have poor posture and weak stomache muscles. I am working on both. I am also taking exercise more to heart. Mike t. Quote

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2008 Report Posted February 3, 2008 How does yoga compare to pilates? Thanks. Quote
Guest guest Posted February 3, 2008 Report Posted February 3, 2008 I do both and I find them to be very different. Yoga involves stretching and holding a pose. Pilates involves more muscle work. I just bought a new Pilates DVD that came with a wide strap to help with the movements and that really engages the muscles. You can tell you had a workout afterwards.
