Does pilates work?

Does pilates or that balance ball work? I’m pretty skinny so if I started doing pilates would I become more muscular in a few weeks? How much would this help for track?

Wow is there a MA that is JUST throat grabbing, eye gouging and ball kicking?

Because that’s all you need in a street fight apparently. Or at least the guys that have been training for 10+ years (or whatever) always use that to their defense when talking about MMA. Yes we know MMA isn’t a life and death situation but it is as close to it as we can get. I would like to see some Karate Guy with 15+ years experience step into the cage of an MMA fighter who has been competing for 3 years and see who wins. Hell I’ll even say eye gouging and Ball Kicking etc. is legal. My money is on the MMA guy. Sorry

Am I working out enough?

I do a 50 minute Tai Chi class twice a week. Once a week, I run for about an hour. A couple times a week I do lunges with a weighted ball and crunches. I know this isn’t a lot. But is it enough to make a difference? Will I see results at all from this?
I am not trying to loose weight at all. Just tone up.

How do I motivate my wife to lead a more active lifestyle ?

She tells me she wants to get in better physical shape, and I buy her all of the equipment she needs, the running shoes, the outfits, the pilates mat and ball, the videotapes, the baby jogger, the iPod, but she never does anything. Am I being manipulated, or is there something else I can do to get her motivated without getting angry?

Serious answers only. Thank You.
