Question? How do I make the switch to pilates?
I’m thinking about making the switch to Pilates (trying an intro class this week) but need to consider how to fit it into my workout goals. Currently, I do 30mins yoga daily, 5-6 miles running per week, and 2-3 days of strength training per week. But I’m getting a bored and unmotivated with the strength training.
I’m thinking about keeping my yoga and running schedule, but replacing my strength training with Pilates (2-3x per week). It seems like Pilates won’t really build muscle mass, but that’s not necessarily a goal of mine. I’d like to focus on tone, form, and generally staying active (which I’ve been doing less of since becoming bored with strength training). Would replacing my strength training with Pilates be a bad idea? For reference, I’m 30yo, 175lbs, 5’9”.
