How hard is it the first time?

[Jordan]

I've decided I'm going to give it a shot. And, I'm assuming day one isn't going to be a walk in the park. So, how hard is it? How sore am I going to be and how long before I get used to it?

My current exercise is the treadmill, and I don't figure that is going to prepare me.

Jordan, did you buy a video or are you going to take classes? Truthfully, I've heard of pilates and how good they work, but I have no idea what the exercises consist of. Are they supposed be extra-difficult, or do they just work more efficiently than other exercises? I'd be curious to know what you think of them after you get started.
