I tried Pilates scissors, the raved-about Pilates move - and think it's the best combination of stretching and strengthening ever

Health writer Katie Sims trying Pilates scissors every day.

I'm no stranger to a Pilates workout. Sure, I only really committed to consistent practice in the second half of last year, but it's fair to say that I've fallen in love with this form of exercise.

And despite trying a range of in-person classes (including both mat and Reformer), as well as a tonne of Pilates workouts at home, I'm still amazed at just how many Pilates exercises there are to try. I mean, there are 34 exercises in the original Pilates repertoire alone, most of which have also been adapted several times.
