Pilates feels surprisingly difficult for football players because their bodies are used to moving in a very specific way. In football, most of the effort comes from large, powerful muscle groups like the quadriceps, glutes, and hamstrings designed for explosive speed, strength, and fast reactions.
But Pilates focuses on something completely different: small, deep stabilizing muscles, precise control, slower movements, and core strength. These are areas that football players don’t often train directly. So when they try Pilates, they’re using parts of their body that are usually inactive and that makes it feel like they’re starting from scratch.
It’s the same reason why an athlete who’s amazing on the pitch might struggle with a ballet class or a gymnast’s routine. They’re experts in one system of movement, but that doesn’t automatically transfer to another. Pilates reveals those gaps and that’s why it’s so valuable.

Have I ever done Pilates? No. Will I ever do Pilates? Most likely no. Will I ever skip a video of men doing Pilates? NEVER! The idea that they think this is a woman’s workout and will be easy 😉 The shaky legs every time 😂

Can anyone in the know confirm why men find this harder than women in assuming it's some kind of core strength?

Because men and women bodies are different and there is nothing wrong about that! To all the doctors: men and women bodies are different and need different treatment in regards to reproductive health and hormone balance! Thanks!
