Shorts, tights and tank-top it is then.[/QUOTE]

@Bandage , do you have a pictorial illustration of that Adidas pant that you used to don under your goalkeeping attire a few years ago during the cold evenings?

I considered getting skins, pal. But I decided against it in the end. I’ll have a lot of thinking to do before committing to an outfit.

Wear something loose— There could be an amount of beef curtains and camel toes on dispaly and in your face!

will they have an elasticated waist?, something like those jeans pregnant women wear

If it’s a good teacher, you’ll sweat. I advise tight boxers and shorts. Tracksuit bottoms will be too sweaty and add weight to your leg lifts while you’ll already be dying trying to lift them. Tight boxers means you wont be worried about flashing your nads at someone while they look on you with pity. A light t shirt that won’t show it if you’re sweating like a pig while you marvel at how unflexible you’ve become. Enjoy it.

Ball control is a must.

It’s Pilates ffs.

Like what soldiers what got blown up in WW1 used to do as rehabilitation.

Old women do Pilates without breaking a sweat.

I don’t care for your dismissive tone, mate. I’m trying to build myself back up to be the athlete I once was, as is Bandage, and this will be a stepping stone in that process. I(we) would appreciate your support during this testing time.

This is helpful information. I’ll wear tight boxers/briefs and a pair of shorts. Will I wear ordinary socks or sport socks? I’ll wear a Wexford polo shirt or something. Anyone in the class come say hi!

This is the crux of your misunderstanding. Proper pilates will have bandage slipping off his mat in a pool of his own sweat and snot. You obviously dropped into the oul ones class by mistake.

You sure you weren’t in the Pilox* ™ class

*Combination of pilates and boxing. Latest fitness fad sweeping the nation.

how about this model?

Definitely not. It was all variations on sit ups, leg up, holding shit between your legs and lifting doing circles etc. I sweated buckets. We used to have a gorgeous Russian lady who shouted at us as we did it. She would break you.

@Juhniallio, what type of socks?

No real ambitions then?

I am not sure you want it badly enough. Time will tell and I hope you prove me as wrong as the lads who wanted to chase Luis Suarez out of Liverpool 12 months ago.

From my experience a properly done Pilates class would leave you pretty tired and is a decent work out.

Better than Tag rugby?

Nobody here has a fucking clue what Pilates is of should be, except possible Mark Renton. And seemingly none of the instructors do either. Some Russian chick shouting abuse?

The rest of you have been duped.

Pilox:D You don’t have to be a qualified coach to know that’s a load of cock. Why do people try to make hybrids out if everything, it’s pretty retarded.

Let’s fucking do this.
