I want to know it I need to do another form of exercise or if Pilates is enough to burn the extra fat on my butt, belly, and thighs???? I want to have a lean, toned body. Please help!!
I am not trying to lose weigh, just exchange fat for muscle.

I began working out w/Pilates and was wondering if it burns fat???
is this a good workout? Please help…?
i’m tryin to do consistently but i’ve been very busy. im doin 45mins – an hour of cardio a day (25 mins elliptical hill, 20 mins bike on hill, 15 mins random on tradmill)… im tryin to eat healthier no fast food, and i’ve been drinkin a lot of water. i don’t usually eat breakfast b/c i don’t have time. i do eat a decent amount of pasta (i can’t give it up!) and i have a candy bar each day. I’m only 115 lbs (5’6″) and 23 years old. I have been tryin to do pilates buns and thighs but i feel like i am doin it wrong (i mean it burns but i feel like my form is wrong)… anyway i try to do that every other day. on the other days i workout my arms, do calf raise, squats and lunges. i do 8 minute abs every night. i am skinny but i have moderate cellulite on my butt and thighs…. i thought it was gettin better but i was in a dressing room yesterday and i wanted to cry.. i hate the lightin in there… any thoughts? is there anythin i can do to get the “butt shorts” booty? please help! thx
pilates! how to do it?
people always say that jogging will slim u down and stuff like that. i tried it out during the hols and instead of slimming my thighs/claves/butt, it simply made me gain muscle! i don’t want to gain muscle! according to various sources, pilates is a effective way to slim legs yet not gain muscle. is this true? if it is, how do i do them (pilates)?
Could BASIC and doing pilates sloow injure the muscles in your lower back?
I have been doing pilates for 2 months now… VERY basic ab workouts mainly.. some thigh and butt.. but ALL in moderation.. I even bring my legs up as high as I can rather than almost touching the floor so I DONT strain my back. After 2 months of making my stomach so flat and sexy and strengthening all my muscles, tonight I picked my son up like I always do and I strained my lower back so much so I was paralyzed in pain for a minute.. It got better quiker than I thought…
But is it true maybe that for some.. pilates, no matter how basic and how CAREFUL you are, may not be built to handle the workouts? And after my back muscles heal, should I continue if I’m careful the way I pick things up and move? Because pilates for leaning and toning up is awesome for my body!
What is the best kind of self-defense/karate to learn that simply teaches you how to kick someones @$$?
I want to learn how to fight well and take a aggressive hands on self-defense class.. I don’t want something that teaches you, and your body, to be one or, hands out different colored belts while you jump around high kicking in white outfits..I simply want to learn how to kick someones butt with my hands or objects, as if i were really in the street with my clothes on (not barefoot in a karate outfit) and someone happened to approach me.. What would i take and if possible is there any places that offer this around Los Angeles, CA?
