    I started to notice a change pretty quickly. I think I first noticed about two to three weeks after I started doing pilates. I now naturally sit and stand in a more straight position.

    i'm a notorious "hunchbacker" when i sit and i agree pilates works..skip the cheap dvds and sign up for a class...they will help you along the way. keep up with it though!

    Yep...I went from being slouchy to having the "ballet dancer" look.

    Pilates and Yoga are both great!!

    Pilates and yoga!

    You need to make your whole core stronger - abdominals and low back muscles - to be able to hold that straight posture. I'm getting back into in myself. I'm so out of shape right now. But on my way to yoga right now!
