The Firm Wave or Winsor Pilates?

[NC State]

I want to get back into shape (that means to lose about 50lbs). I know pilates works but it hurts my back and I get a headache each time.

I did see the Firm Wave on TV and thought that would be fun...but I have weak ankles due to a small disability in both. Mari Winsor Pilates has a new system out too that looks fun. Has anyone tried these?

Have you been going to a Pilates center to learn the correct positions & forms to do Pilates? Pilates is meant to build he back & the core. You should have a teacher watch your form and correct if you are doing it at the wrong angle, over-extending, etc. It shouldn't be hurting your back if done correctly. It also sounds like you are pinching a nerve in your neck while doing it, causing your headaches.
