Just because, say, Pilates, is all the rage at your local Y, it doesn't mean you should try to force your body into it if you're just now getting started with working out. If you don't feel great during -- and after -- your exercise class, then it's probably not the right one for you.
Take the litmus test when you're leaving -- are you already dreading coming back to the next one or are you ready for more? If you keep trying classes until you are left feeling the latter, then you're on the right track. I promise you will find one that you want to come back to again and again. Just don't give up!
