If you'd told me a year ago I'd be trying a Pilates challenge by choice, I wouldn't have believed you. That said, I also couldn't have predicted that I'd be suffering from neck and back pain caused by a total lack of core strength - something which Pilates promises to boost.
Let's rewind a bit, first - because while I've spent the last month completing this Pilates challenge, I've never tried the workout before. I didn't used to think Pilates was my "thing". To me, a Pilates workout seemed to be the exercise of choice for the women who had the time to match their gym wear (spoiler alert: I don't). Still, since then, I've had a total change of heart, and I've been recommending all my friends to give the workout a go, too.
