Hi, everyone. I am new to pilates and looking for some advice. I have a handful of DVDs I like to do at home. Right now, I'm doing at least an abs section 1-2x a week and lifting heavy weights 2-3x a week. in addition to cardio and dance class. Honestly, I feel like I have too much muscle, particularly in my arms and am considering dropping the weights and using pilates for the strengthening portion of my workout plans. So, I guess my questions are whether pilates can replace a strength training routine and how often should I do pilates? Pretty basic...
